[Arras theme] Hide Recent Posts from homepage

In sidebar.php delete this:

<li class="widgetcontainer clearfix">
				<h5 class="widgettitle"><?php _e('Recent Posts', 'arras') ?></h5>
				<div class="widgetcontent">
<?php
				$r = new WP_Query(array('showposts' => $number, 'what_to_show' => 'posts', 'nopaging' => 0, 'post_status' => 'publish', 'caller_get_posts' => 1));
				if ($r->have_posts()) :
?>
				<ul>
				<?php while ($r->have_posts()) : $r->the_post(); ?>
				<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php if ( get_the_title() ) the_title(); else the_ID(); ?> </a></li>
				<?php endwhile ?>
				</ul>
<?php
				wp_reset_query();
				endif;
?>
				</div>
			</li>

Remember changes to themes like this could be blown away with future ‘automatic’ upgrades so backup your theme files when you make customizations. See WordPress Backups

Hi, thanks for the reply. I’ve done that but it doesn’t seem to help – if Recent Posts is added through the Widget interface it appears on all pages and if it isn’t, it doesn’t appear anywhere.

Have I missed something?

Ah, if you are using widgets then look at

Awesome, that’s perfect. Thanks!
