Hi,
I’ve succeeded!!!! 🙂
I can’t believe it but I succeeded to get rid of the Meta and Blogroll.
Unfortunately it worked only with other themes and not with HeatMap – which is the one that I like the most.
I have no other choice but to ditch the HeatMap and use another theme, which is very unfortunate.

Anyway – here is what I did, in case someone is interested: (version 3.0.1):
As of today, the Apearance>widgets suddenly had an “add” button next to every widget (which wasn’t there yesterday, so I suppose someone fixed it – so thank you for that).
I clicked on the “add” button and it opened a “window”, where I could check the boxes (after choosing the “check to hide” option).
I checked all the boxes and the Meta and blogroll have magically disappeared 🙂
Now I hope it would hold, so I won’t have to check the boxes every time…
Thank you very much 🙂

Hi James,
Thanks. The thing is that the “Blogroll” (“links”) amd “Meta” are not in the sidebar. (All the sidebars spaces are empty. I think it’s WP version 3.0.1 since I’ve just installed it).
The blogroll and Meta apear under: “available wiggets”. (a list which is saparated from the sidebars).
I’ve dragged them into “inactive widgets” (also saparated list)- several times – and clicked “save”. But they are very stubborn 🙂 they insist on staying in “available widgets” (even though they also appear in “inactive widgets” after I dragged them there).
I’ve downloaded a few other themes and also tried to activate the Twenty Ten 1.1, which is the default. But no matter which theme I acttivate, the “Meta” and Blogroll remains (including in the default theme, although in the “Twenty Ten” there is only “Meta”).
I must remove it – especially the “Meta” – because is allows anyone an entrance to the admin.
I know that it’s protected by user name and password, but user names and passwords are the easiest this in the world to break. It’s like a paper wall…
Could you please take a look at the 3.0.1 version? (this is all like ancient Greek for me).
Many thanks,
Hadass

Hi,
Thanks.
I dragged “categories” into the right sidebar but it’s not changing.
Can I create a completely new sidebar? I don’t mean a second one next to the one that is already there (gosh, I can even figure out how to operate the one that exist :-)), I just would like to create something blank that would qualify as something that I can drag into the “right sidebar”, so it would overwrite the blogroll and meta.
Thanks,
Hadass

I can see that daniel3ub wrote in July 2009:
“disable the sidebar via ATO Options”.
Is it still relevant in the current (new) version?
And can you please tell me what is: ATO?
(Do you think it would work with the new version?)
Thanks

Hi Esmi,
Thanks.
I dragged the “Meta” into: “[sidebar] right”
But it’s still there.
I am trying to get rid of the “blogroll” and the “meta”, so it will not be seen on the website.
So far, I am faling to do that 🙁
I’ve installed the wordpress two days ago, so I’m assuming I have the last version.
Is it possible that what used to work with previous versions doesn’t work with the new one?
Thanks,
Hadass

Thanks,
Unfortunately, it’s not working 🙁
The instructions are: “Drag widgets here to remove them from the sidebar but keep their settings”.
I dragged them there but it hasn’t changed.
(Sorry again… )
Thanks
