 * I am creating a site using the Flat Responsive theme. I used the link that you
   provided in this support forum that fixed the bug that was inserting double Top
   Widgets. However, I am having another issue with it. You can view this problem
   at [https://mamaregistry.com/contact/](https://mamaregistry.com/contact/).
 * I removed all my widgets from the blog sidebar and the page sidebar. However 
   the Search Widget, Pages Widget, Archive Widget, Categories Widget and Meta Widget
   are still showing up on every page. I have no way of removing or editing them.
 * Its showing up under:
 * <div id=”sidebar” role=”complimentary”>
 * Can you please tell me how to remove them? I tried deleting the template and 
   re-uploading it but that did not help.

 * Hello–I sure know how frustrating figuring these things out can be!
 * Just curious if this would work in your Custom CSS:
 * #sidebar .complimentary {display:none; }

 * ..& I imagine you are using the template that is full width for the page, not
   the sidebar one. Probably are, but have to ask!

 * Yes I am using Blog with full width and no sidebars.
 * I tried the custom css that you suggested. And nothing happened.
