How do I remove the META category from my sidebar? I have deactivated the widget from Sidebar 1, refreshed browser/saved, yet it is still there on my site. Site is http://www.GrayCreek.com - any help would be greatly appreciated! Template is Peaceful Rush.

Posted 2 years ago #Hey todcaton, I noticed the META category is now removed from your sidebar. Could you share how you did it? I just installed WordPress and cannot figure out how to remove it. Thanks :)

Posted 2 years ago #I found the solution... So simple! I'll post it here in case other's show up here with the same question.
- Go to Admin Dashboard and under Appearance select Widgets
- Drag the META widget over to the sidebar
- Click 'save' (you may need to click the drop-down arrow in the Meta widget to display the Save option)
- Then drag any other widgets that you actually DO want to display over to your sidebar and click 'Save' for each one
- Now drag the META widget back over to the Available Widgets section and click 'save'
Refresh your page and voila...

Posted 2 years ago #I had the same problem with the peaceful rush theme. The meta panel is hard coded. So moving the meta widget to the disabled area did not help.
SOLUTION!
Delete the hard code. What you do is:
1.In the admin panel, click appearence.
2.click editor
3.locate and click sidebar.php on the right hand side.
4.scroll through the code and locate this code- <h2><?php _e('Meta'); ?></h2>
-
<?php wp_register(); ?>
- <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
- <?php _e('Valid'); ?> <abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr>
- <abbr title="XHTML Friends Network">XFN</abbr>
- WordPress
5.delete the above code
6.update file.
the meta panel is gone! If you want it back. drag your widget over to the sidebar panel.
- <h2><?php _e('Meta'); ?></h2>
