There are 2 ways you can get rid of the “Interesting Sites” widget in the narrow sidebar

Method #1

Drag your own widgets to the sidebar to replace the ones there by default. To do this

1. Go to your dashboard

2. Click on the “Appearance” tab

3. Click on “Widgets”

4. Decide what widgets you prefer to have in your narrow sidebar and drag them to SidebarNarrow

Method #2

1. Open the file sidebar.php

2. Look for and remove the following block of codd

<div>
<h2><?php _e(“Interesting Sites”,’NewsMagazineTheme640′);?></h2>
<ul>
<?php get_links(‘-1′, ‘<li>’, ‘</li>’, ”, FALSE, ‘id’, FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE); ?>
</ul>
</div>

The recommended method is #1 as it does not require you to edit any files.

  1. Coming from a back ground in programming wouldn’t it be better to just comment out the code? This way if you need this added back into the sidebar, just do the reverse and un-comment.

    • Michael, you make a good point. It would indeed be better to just comment out the code rather than removing it altogether.

  2. Hi,

    How can I remove the metatags which are duplicated shown in the sidebars and above ? Thanks
