 * Are you sure you edited the correct sidebar.php file? Are you using any caching
   plugins?

 * I edited the sidebar.php that is in the root folder, which had all the content
   that is showing now, so i assume so.. and i just searched the theme folder and
   there isnt any other sidebar files. And not using any plugins :/..

 * Root folder of what? How are you amending the file? Via Appearance->Editor or
   using FTP?
