Can’t Delete Unwanted Sidebar Widgets

In the ‘StudioPress’ theme, the sidebar contents are hard-coded in sidebar.php. Save the original sidebar.php to sidebar-original.php, and use the code below as sidebar.php:

<div id="allsidebars">

<div class="sidebarswrapper"><div class="sidebars">

<?php if (get_option('greeting') || get_option('welcomemessage')) {
  echo "<div id='welcome'>";
  if (get_option('greeting')) {
    echo "<h2>" . get_option('greeting') . "</h2>";
    }
  if (get_option('welcomemessage')) {
    echo "<p>" . get_option('welcomemessage') . "</p>";
    }
  echo "</div>";
  } else {
  echo "<div id='welcome'><h2>Welcome!</h2><p>To customize this message, please go to your Admin panel and find Presentation->Theme Options. Modify at will!</p></div>";
}

?>

<div class="sidebarsbottom"></div>
</div> <!-- Closes Sidebars -->
</div> <!-- Closes SidebarsWrapper -->

<div class="sidebarsB">

<div class="adsense_sidebar"><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/adsense_sidebar336.php'); ?></div>

<div class="sidebar1">
<ul>

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar1') ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</ul>

</div> <!-- Closes Sidebar1 -->

<div class="sidebar2">

<ul>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar2') ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>
</ul>

</div> <!-- Closes Sidebar2 -->
<div class="cleared"></div>
</div> <!-- Closes SidebarsB -->

</div> <!-- Closes allsidebars -->

This has been tested only a little!

Thanks! It seems to be working.
