Change this:

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array(
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h4>',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
));
?>

to

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array(
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</li>',
'before_title' => '<h4>',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
));
?>

The %1$s will set the title of the widget as the list items id, using this id you can target specific h4 title tags and only hide those. For example

#archives h4{
diaplay:none;
}

Check the source code of your website in a browser after the page loads and you can see what all the id’s were set to and then just use the css above to only hide h4 tags that fall within those id’s like this:

#archives h4, #categories h4, #pages h4{
diaplay:none;
}

The above are all just examples. You could also just hide all the h4’s like you did before and then only unhide certain ones

#sidebar h4{
diaplay:none;
}

#amazon h4{
diaplay:block;
}

Good solution jrodgers. In my implementation I had to check if wp_list_categories was equal to “
<li>No Categories</li>
”

Assuming you know the email address or username that was setup during installation you can use the “forgot password” link off the login page at /wp-admin to recover your admin login details.

If you do not know or do not have access to the email address used to setup the admin account you can use PHPMyAdmin to reset the password. Detailed instructions to follow:

1.Login to PHPMyAdmin
2.Select the database wordpress is installed on
3.Choose the wp_users table
4.Select the Browse tab (at the top)
5.Choose the Pencil Icon (edit) for the admin account
6. Under the user_pass field: select MD5 for the Function and replace the long string of characters with the password you want
7.Hit Go
8.Login to wordpress with the user_login and the password you just typed in.

If you are currently logged in admin options will appear on your blog. Rest assured these links will only appear to you — the logged in user– no one else can see them. Try logging out from the control panel and then visit your blog.

I agree with hotkee, was you .htaccess file writable when you updated the permalink settings?
