Hi everybody! In this post i will show you how to make  some changes to your sidebar. The sidebar also known as the menu can be easily customized via the administration panel of your blog. In the section Appearance > Widgets you can add or remove widgets of your choice but in some cases  this method does not work. This was my case. When i installed Wordpress  I wanted to  remove some widgets from my theme  but they were not active and could not be removed with the widget manager. After long searching in GOOGLE I found solution of my problem. For example: I wanted to remove  META  menu from the sidebar.

If your case is the same just do the  following:

Open the Admin panel. Then go to  Appearance >Editor and find sidebar.php  file. Now edit this file with the editor.  All you have to do now is to put comment tags <!-- and --> around the lines making up the META menu like this:

<!--<li>
<h2>Meta</h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
<li><a href="http://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="http://wordpress.org/" title="Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.">WordPress</a></li>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
</ul>
</li> -->
