Widgets for Pages not Working

    On my new site I’m trying to create, which will be composed of static pages, instead of posts, I have sidebar items I don’t want there. I did not move these widgets to the sidebar, so I have no idea how they got there, and I can’t see a way to eliminate them. For instance, there is Categories, Archives, Links, and Meta (which has a list of 7 items).

    All I want is Pages, which will have a list of my pages, and Search.

    Please tell me what to do.

    Thanks.

  • Try adding the Pages and the Search Widgets to your sidebar via Admin/Appearance/Widgets.

    Hi FaithAnne,

    It sounds like you need to log into the administration pages for your WordPress site, then click on Appearance in the left-hand menu. You should find a menu option in there for Widgets; click on this, and it will show you the Widgets (such as the Categories, Archives, etc you mention above), installed. Drag and drop from the list on the right into the main area, those that you do not want to keep. Alternatively click on the drop down arrow beside each widget, and then Delete on each one (this does the same thing).

    There is a possibility that some entries may still remain, but try the above first, and see how you get on.

    Hi dragonsdraw,

    esmi and I were both posting at the same time – it is the luck of the draw that my response came in after hers; I didn’t know she had responded, until I had posted…

    It happens sometimes. ??

    Thanks. Your suggestion helped.

    I’ve got it straightened out now.
