    Hey Everyone,

    This is my first post on the wordpress forums and I’m hoping someone can help me with 2 annoying issues I’m having. My wordpress site is: invisalignfacts.com

    1. Why can’t I remove the archives and blogroll on the right, and the recent posts/tags/calendar in the middle column? I went to the widgets page, and none of these ‘widgets’ are in use. I’m thinking this template I am using comes preinstalled with these widgets?

    2. There is a sidebar that allows for unlimited 125×125 banners. The instructions are Each new banner should be in new line with using the following format:
    http://yourbannerurl.com/banner.gif, http://theurl.com/to_link.html
    I’d really like to put adsense ad units here, but doesn’t seem like I can with this format. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    1.
    what you see are no widgets in the real sense, but spacehaolder functions in the sidebar, which should disappear if you drag real widgets into the widgets areas (dashboard – appearance – widgets)

    if you want to get rid of the spaceholder code, without adding your own widgets, you will need to edit sidebar.php – see below.

    2.
    you may need to edit sidebar.php(? – could be a different file) and manually change the code in the area of the 125ads.

    if you need help, you could paste the code of sidebar.php(?) into a http://wordpress.pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here.

    could be this area of the code:

    <?php if(get_theme_option('ads_125') != '') {
        		?>
        		<div class="sidebaradbox125">
        			<?php sidebar_ads_125(); ?>
        		</div>
        	<?php } ?>

    try to replace it with your adsense code, so theat the above looks like so for instance:

    <div class="sidebaradbox125">

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-012yournumbers1234123";
/* ads */
google_ad_slot = "1234512345";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

        		</div>

    OR
    if you want to keep the wp125 option, try to change the top code to something like this:

    <?php if(get_theme_option('ads_125') != '') {
        		?>
        		<div class="sidebaradbox125">
YOUR ADSENSE CODE HERE
        			<?php sidebar_ads_125(); ?>
        		</div>
        	<?php } ?>

    (subject to adjustments in the formatting)
