 * Some themes include default menu options. If the theme is widget-enabled, then
   add some widgets that you want. Adding a widget should make the default options
   go away.

 * No, tried that, the widgets that are there, stay there and i ahve not selected
   them so there is no option to remove them. I have also trid two other templates
   and its exactly the same????

 * It’s possible that you have inadvertently chosen three themes that aren’t widget-
   capable. Have you tried activating the default theme and seeing if you can add
   widgets then?

 * Yes it tells me that the theme i have is widget compatable, and i have tried 
   with the default again but to no avail…?

 * [@mapasm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mapasm/): I’m having the EXACT 
   same problem. The default theme works perfectly with the widgets. But when I 
   activate the theme I want to use, I can not update the widgets that it shows 
   and I can’t take them away. On top of that, the widgets that are up don’t update,
   they all link to the site where I downloaded the theme at.
 * What is that all about? If you want to see what I mean: [http://www.khodgefilms.com/blog/](http://www.khodgefilms.com/blog/)
 * Been trying to figure it out all morning and I’ve run out of ideas.

 * [@mapasm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mapasm/): Try deactivating **all**
   of your plugins and see if that helps. A bad plugin might be interfering with
   widget functionality.

 * [@khodge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khodge/): Have you tried adding
   any widgets via Admin/Appearance/Widgets? What you’re currently seeing is almost
   certainly the default, widget-less, sidebar content.

 * [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/): No, it’s nothing that simple.
   I’ve studied the code and the default theme uses
 *     ```
       <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
       ```
   
 * to pull up the sidebar with the widgets enabled. The theme I downloaded has code
   that looks like this:
 *     ```
       <div class="sidebar1">
   
       <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php'); ?>
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I’m curious, if I change TEMPLATEPATH to something else or just delete it. Not
   sure. But that line of code is found nowhere within the index.php unlike the 
   default theme.
 * When I add
 *     ```
       <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
       ```
   
 * to the index.php, the widgets come up underneath my posts (not in the sidebar
   area)
 * Bottom line, this theme is poorly constructed. 🙁 I’m I missing something elementary
   here. This is my first time using WordPress, but I’m super familiar with html,
   css, and php.

 * You can simply replace the above with:
 *     ```
       <div class="sidebar1">
   
       <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Have you looked at sidebar.php? That’s the file that will determine the widget
   functionality.

 * I tried doing that, but because the call for the sidebar isn’t in either the 
   index.php or footer.php, it doesn’t change anything.
 * The only place the call for the sidebar is at are on pages like 404.php or archive.
   php.
 * And the footer.php is a weird file. It looks like this (warning, code overload):
 *     ```

 * Suggestion: get a new theme. The one you have is using encrypted files – a nasty,
   disreputable, practice. if you’re curious about the content of footer.php, see

 * Thank you so much for that link! I had no clue wtf was going on with that footer.
   php file.
 * And I do believe I’ll be switching themes. 🙁 Almost a whole day wasted on this
   silly problem.
 * Anyway, thanks a lot for your help esmi!
