    www.ads-software.com documentation says in dashboard go to Appearance > widgets but when I click on Appearance I don’t get a widgets tab. On my home computer I tested deleting the various parts of the widget on the page and it went away. On Bluehost I tried the same and it went away on the edit page but then when I view the page it’s still there.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You’re using a Block Theme, so there are no widgets. You’ll use the Site Editor to remove blocks instead: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/site-editor/

    There’s also a video tutorial if you prefer that style: https://learn.www.ads-software.com/tutorial/intro-to-the-site-editor-and-template-editor/

    The official article about site editor says something like this if we talk in short:

    The WordPress Site Editor allows users to edit and design their entire website using the Block Editor. It provides a visual interface for customizing templates, template parts, and site-wide design elements like headers, footers, and archives. Accessible via Appearance > Editor, the Site Editor is part of WordPress’ Full Site Editing (FSE) capabilities, available in block-based themes. Users can add, edit, or remove blocks, change site styles, and manage layouts without touching code. It’s ideal for creating cohesive and customizable websites with minimal technical effort.

    I’m using kadence blocks to edit my site and it everything almost works fine, if you’re having difficulty in normal site editor you can try some other.

    Thanks to both respondents. Great information. I have read the article/site-editor and it is a class in itself. It would take several more readings to digest it and I will refer back to it. I am an old guy and a wordpress beginner and have made what I think is a very simple “static” site. FYI I added the comments section by clicking on the “comments” button for the paragraph and somewhere I thought I read it was a widget. I originally posted that when I deleted the parts of the comments section they were gone from the edit version of the page and even after “saving” it still showed when viewing the page even though I did “saving” and viewing a few times. I gave up, but when I logged in the next time the comments section was gone from the page, any explanation for this? Still very puzzling to me but at least it seems OK.
