arrr i've been spending the last 8 hours or so on this - but nothing will work. I made a topic about my GoDaddy account and Wordpress still no fix for that but this problem is that my website has all these UNWANTED widjets on the side. I go into Design -> Widgets and view the two sidebars and no widjets have been selected!!! What is going on ? this is making me really frustrated can someone help? thanks
I would imagine they are hard coded into the template/theme you are using. You might need to edit the code directly to remove them, normally its in sidebar.php in the relevant theme folder.
hmm I looked in there but im not a PHP expert - can I post it here would that be alright? both the sidebar.php text ?
Okay... then have the following... sidebar1.php <div class="sidebar1"> <ul> <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('sidebar 1') ) : else : ?> </ul> </div> PHP: sitebar2.php <div class="sidebar2"> <ul> <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('sidebar 2') ) : else : ?> </ul> </div> PHP: hope this helps...
Remove this code: at the top of the sidebar and this: at the bottom. This will deactivate widgets. Good luck!
thanks for the reply BANA, but it worked even without me doing anything! now I can control which widgets appear - but theres a bug here I know it cause at times they randomly pop up and I cant really 'control' them. thanks for your suggestion but I don't want to disable them - want to control
before - widgets popped out of nowhere and now suddenly its back as it should be. but even now I insert the "archive" widget and the "calender" one comes up and such - I got to refresh the page 3-4 times for the right one to come ==' but nevertheless atleast it's manageable - still got the issue with GoDaddy but http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=895482
