    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

    EDIT: All those widgets on the both sides aren't meant to be there

    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.

    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 :(

    Lol. What plugins have you got installed? There may be a clash somewhere? Have you got any cache system? When you refresh do you hit F5?
