 * I need to remove from the front of my website, but I haven’t found the template
   that allows me to do it:
    **1-categories 2-archives 3-recent posts  [http://www.viptennisstrings.com/](http://www.viptennisstrings.com/)
 * I’m using wappos theme

 * They look like widgets, have a look in the widgets menu and see if you can remove
   them from there.

 * Sam I moved the “category” widget from inactive/active widget to right side bar
   and the recent post disappeared, still there is “category” widget showing.
 * What/where else could I do to remove that?
 * What template would that be?

 * Not knowing your technical skills here, so this might be over your head, but 
   in appearance > editor, there might be a file called sidebar.php, in this file
   it might be setting a default sidebar widget. If you remove that then it will
   go.
 * Otherwise, have a look at your pages template (normally pages.php) and see if
   there is something in there.

 * Here is the right side bar code:
 * <div id=”right”>
    <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘right_sidebar’) ) : ?> <?php
   dynamic_sidebar(‘right_sidebar’) ?> <?php else : ?> <div class=”sidecolumn”> 
   <h3>Recent Posts</h3>
    - <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=postbypost&limit=10’); ?>
 *  <h3>Archives</h3>
    - <?php wp_get_archives(); ?>
 *  </div>
    <?php endif; ?> </div><!–// right –>

 * You can try commenting out the sidebar bits, if this gets rid of them then you
   will have a widget active within your widget menu.
 * <div id=”right”>
    <!– <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘right_sidebar’) ) : ?> <?
   php dynamic_sidebar(‘right_sidebar’) ?> –> <?php else : ?>

 * What should I replace “active” for in order to take that out of my page?

 * I’m not too sure what you mean.
 * If you add into your code the <!– –> comment tags like I demonstrated, does this
   remove the “Categories” title on your page?
 * If it does, go into your WordPress admin, then the widgets page, click and drag
   anything that is in the right had column out of that column.
 * If there is nothing there, then I’m not sure, have a look at any other files 
   that might be used and see if you can find the word “categories”
 * dynamic_sidebar() is used when you have widgets selected in the admin menu, so
   double check there
