Removing Meta and Archive from Wordpress Theme?
I need a little bit of help with something that should be simple and usually takes me a few seconds to do but for some reason has turned into a frustrating task and is driving me crazy.
I have a theme on Wordpress.org for my site which I'm trying to remove the default Wordpress elements from; specifically the meta and archive. This usually just involves moving a blank widget (text widget) into the sidebar to "hide" or remove them. That method didn't work for some reason...
Next I tried to delete it manually by going into the theme's code within WP's dashboard, found the sidebar.php section and deleted the code (after copying it down just in case). Saved the theme and... the meta and archives are still there...
I thought at first maybe this theme takes a few hours to update but this is normally extremely simple to remove but I can't seem to remove them from theme for some reason... which Wordpress produced so it's not a conflict with their own theme either.
Can anyone familiar with Wordpress help? It's very simple fix but I'm missing something.
