 * Hello,
 * Please how can I hide Recent Articles from the Annotum theme. My site is not 
   a blog website.

 * If they are posts – change them from published to drafts (to the right of the
   box where you write content)
 * If they are pages – same thing – change from published to drafts.

 * But the Recent Articles still shows even when there’s no post made. I want it
   removed entirely.

 * You have it set as under maintenance – can’t see it.
 * Let me take a look at the theme.
 * Did you make any changes to the theme?

 * I think that the recent articles function is built into the theme. I installed
   the theme on one of my sites and it added the “Articles” section with posts, 
   pages, comments, etc in the dashboard.
 * You can remove the button from the sidebar in the widgets section – under Appearance.
 * As for removing the Recent Articles section in the main body area of the page
   below your boxes ‘our values’ and ‘our services’ – that’s a theme edit.
 * Two articles to look at: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development)
   and [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
   You might be best off to create a child theme that removes the Recent Articles
   code.
 * It might be easier to choose a theme that is easier to work with and not designed
   to be used as a repository of articles and books – check out Appearance and Annotum
   settings (all geared towards journal articles).
 * You can put the site under maintenance mode again.
