    Pretty simple one here. If you're using WP version 2.5, just click on 'Design' in your admin panel, then 'Widgets'. In the list of activated plugins (darker blue on right half of screen), find the widget for 'Meta', click 'Edit' and then 'Remove'.

    I strongly suggest becoming familiar with the admin area of your WP install. Your question is a very valid one, but it's also among the most basic of changes one would make to their site...get in there and stir things up, bushib. :-)

    Hi there,

    I m not using the Widget so I think it can't be removed from the Widgets from the Designs>Widgets etc.

    Any help that how can I remove the followings from the right side column.

    Meta:
    * Site Admin
    * Log out
    * Valid XHTML
    * XFN
    * WordPress

    Any help will be appreciated.

    regards

    find your sidebar.php file and just remove that section of code from it. Be sure to back up your sidebar.php file first in case you make a mistake and remove too much, or not enough, and need to start over.

    Hi there,

    My URL is http://www.skincarequeries.com

    I want to remove the Right side Meta and the below links.

    The following is the code of the sidebar.php

    <?php
$mode = 'sidebar';

require_once('admin.php');

if ( ! current_user_can('edit_posts') )
	wp_die(__('Cheatin’ uh?'));

if ('b' == $_GET['a']) {

?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=UTF-8" />
<title><?php _e('WordPress › Posted'); ?></title>
<?php
wp_admin_css( 'css/global' );
wp_admin_css();
?>
</head>
<body>
	<p><?php _e('Posted !'); ?></p>
	<p><?php printf(__('<a href="%s">Click here</a> to post again.'), 'sidebar.php'); ?></p>
</body>
</html><?php

} else {

<title><?php _e('WordPress › Sidebar'); ?></title>
<?php

wp_admin_css();
?>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">

	width: 90%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body id="sidebar">

<form name="post" action="post.php" method="post">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="post" />
<input type="hidden" name="user_ID" value="<?php echo $user_ID ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="sidebar" />
<?php wp_nonce_field('add-post'); ?>
<p><?php _e('Title:'); ?>
<input type="text" name="post_title" size="20" tabindex="1" style="width: 100%;" />
</p>
<p><?php _e('Categories:'); ?>
<span class="sidebar-categories">
<?php dropdown_categories(); ?>
</span>
</p>
<p>
Post:
<textarea rows="8" cols="12" style="width: 100%" name="content" tabindex="2"></textarea>
</p>
<p>
	<input name="saveasdraft" type="submit" id="saveasdraft" tabindex="9" value="<?php _e('Save as Draft'); ?>" />
<?php if ( current_user_can('publish_posts') ) : ?>
	<input name="publish" type="submit" id="publish" tabindex="6" value="<?php _e('Publish') ?>" class="button button-highlighted" />
<?php endif; ?>
</p>
</div>
</form>

</body>
</html>
<?php
}
?>

    Can anyone please tell me which portion to remove from this file.

    Regards

    Oddly enough, that does not look like the code from your sidebar.php file.

    In fact it doesn't look like the code from your site either.

    When I go to the link you provided, and view source, I found this line:

    <div class="widget" id="meta">
		<div class="h2">
                  <h2>Meta:</h2>
	        </div>
	<ul>																							<li><a href="http://www.skincarequeries.com/wp-login.php">Log in</a></li>
<li><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer" title="This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional">Valid <abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr></a></li>
<li><a href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/"><abbr title="XHTML Friends Network">XFN</abbr></a></li>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.">WordPress</a></li>
	</ul>
	</div>

    etc.........which looks like the Widget for Meta......are you SURE you are not using that Widget? Please double check under Design>Widgets and be sure to change the dropdown box to display your RIGHT sidebar (sidebar2 maybe).....

    If you are SURE it's not a widget then go to Design>Theme Editor and click on your sidebar.php file and look for that code above, and remove it.
