Hello

Here is my page: http://thewakeplace.ipower.com/wordpress/
See the ads on the right - i want to get rid of the 'powered by max banner ads'???
How can i do this?
Thanks!!!!
That "page" doesn't actually exist. What you see is the result of your theme interacting with WordPress and your database. In other words, the HTML is built on-the-fly; it's generated, not pre-saved somewhere.
So, if you want to modify some part of the page, then you are talking about modifying your theme.

OK - so is there anywhere i need to look specifically to find that 'Powered by Max Banner Ads'??
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I think its part of the code provided my Max Banner. You might have to edit that code to wipe off this text and link below it.
You search source code to find text "max Banner ads" or link "http://www.maxblogpress.com"

Is it somehow easier to ask questions than to simply *look* at your theme? I mean, honestly, just look at the contents of the theme files for a couple minutes and you'll find it. Probably in the sidebar.php or in the index.php, but you'll never know without actually looking, eh?

I have looked - i pasted all the code into text files and did a search for the words 'powered by'.
I only ever post in forums when i have exhausted other means!
Some themes obscure this sort of stuff by encrypting it (long strings of random letters) or by putting it in the theme's functions.php.

I don't think thewakepalace knows HOW to *look* at the theme files yet, to be fair.
ok, thewakepalace, part of the problem you're going to have when asking questions like this in the support forums is that ... a lot of this depends on variables that you haven't shared yet.
One big one is the theme that you are using. Each theme might chop up the page differently than another. Then there are the plugins you are using, and it isn't just the PHP files that might contain what you're after, it might be the CSS or like another poster said, it could be in a variable that something in a theme or plugin is pulling from another site, which means it wouldn't be in the files at all, necessarily .
Your issue has got to be caused by that plugin, so hunt around for options to control it, ask the plugin authors, or google for other people that have encountered the same problem.
