 * I have right widget in wordpress theme where I put some static content (ad link).
   There are some technical issues that I can’t access wordpress admin but I have
   access to wordpress source code. Can someone help me out to find place in source
   code where that static content would be? I need to update that content. I am 
   really stuck and need to sort this out asap. Any help would be appreciated.

 * Cant without more details.
 * But yes you can find the template it is in, remove the part where it calls the
   widget, and then hardcode your static content.

 * In your admin area, there’s the menu items… ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Widgets’. There 
   you will see your sidebars on the right-hand side. Find the sidebar that the 
   widget is in, click on the heading for that side bar, and it will drop down and
   you will see the widgets in that sidebar. When you find the widget that you need
   to edit, click on the title of that widget, and it will expand out and you will
   be able to edit it’s content.
