Removing sidebar widgets rom everypage.

  • Hi.
    I’m trying to remove the “Archives” and “Meta” from the sidebar in very page. I have tried multiple options and read multiple blogs on the same but still can’t remove it. Im using the “Store Commerce” theme for my eCommerce site.
    Any working advice is highly appreciated.
    Also, any suggestion for a “free” and good-looking better ecommerce theme (in terms of configurability) is appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards
    Manish

  • Hello @antiqueverma,

    Have you asked the theme authors? They would know the best way to do that for their theme.

    If they’re are available or don’t support the theme anymore, you should consider moving to a well supported theme.

    In the meantime, if you post the link to one of the pages you need to remove the sidebar, I can look to see if you can remove/hide with custom CSS.

    Thanks!

    As you likely know, we normally remove widgets through the widgets screen in the admin area (appearance -> widgets or customizer -> widgets). If those widgets do not appear at all in the sidebar widget area, you should consult with your theme’s devs through their dedicated support forum.

    If the widgets appear but cannot be removed, check your browser console for JavaScript errors after attempting removal.

    You can really use any WP theme on an ecommerce site, it’s not required that it be commerce oriented. However, a commerce oriented theme might offer additional features of particular benefit to commerce sites. If you are using WooCommerce, there is some added benefit to using a theme that formally declares in its code that it supports WooCommerce, but its not a requirement.

    Hi @mlchaves and @bcworkz ,
    Thanks for your reply
    I am new to wordpress. Could you please tell me the steps how to share the link to my website? As of now, I am in the development phase so I haven’t bought any domain name neither my website is live.
    If this helps: https://127.0.0.1/wordpress please let me know the solution of my issue.
    I have also tried removing all sidebar widgets from Appearance –> Widgets –> Sidebar. The issue still continues. I am currently using WooCommerce plugin.
    Any link to a working tutorial will be appreciated.
    Thanks and regards

    It’s impractical to share a site on a local computer. While it’s possible to make your computer into a web server, you become open to security breaches unless you are very familiar with administering web servers.

    This CSS will likely hide the widgets you don’t want:

    .widget_archive, .widget_meta {
    display: none;
}

    Add the code to the Additional CSS panel of the customizer. Users are still served the widget HTML, it’s merely hidden from normal view. It’s better to stop unwanted HTML from being served to start with. I recommend removing the widgets from the sidebar via the admin area widgets screen.
