How to remove Blogroll & Meta categories

If your using the Default theme I am pretty sure that you can add some widgets of your own and they will disappear.

Or you can edit the default themes sidebar.php file.

No. I am using the theme tropicala. I’ve been all through the different php files and can’t find any reference to Blodroll or Meta.

I’m fairly new at this, so I figure it’s something simple. I just can’t figure it out.

Thanks for your help.

Typically you remove them by editing the sidebar.php of the theme you are using, not the default theme unless you are using the default theme.

I am using the theme tropicala.

I have been all through the sidebar.php file and I can’t see the Blogroll or Meta inf anywhere.

I’m not familiar with PHP Coding, but I think I could see it if it was there. But then again, maybe not.

Thanks,

Bob

I just downloaded the theme Tropicala. If you do not see this code in sidebar.php then you are using a modified version of the theme.

in sidebar.php:
blogroll:
`<?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>`

Meta:

<li>
        <h2>Meta</h2>
        <ul>
          <?php wp_register(); ?>
          <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
          <li><a href="https://validator.w3.org/check/referer" title="This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional">Valid <abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr></a></li>
          <li><a href="https://gmpg.org/xfn/"><abbr title="XHTML Friends Network">XFN</abbr></a></li>
          <li><a href="https://www.ads-software.com/" title="Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.">WordPress</a></li>

Meta is here:
<?php wp_meta(); ?>

</ul>
      </li>

Thanks stvwlf,

That did the trick. The problem I had was not understanding the PHP code. I had seen those text blocks several times, but didn’t realize what they pertained to.

After I commented them out, they went away.

Thanks again for your help,
