Delete blog widgets on template

Hi all, I've installed the "art page" template on my domain using the "Restaurateur" template using filezilla. Now i found the problem that if i do a new page and use the "art template" the blog widgets are still there and shown in the bottom, after the footer. What can i do to delete them? Thanks in advance

Hi,

The quickest way (if you don't use the blog widget section at all) would be to remove these via Appearance > Widgets > Drag them out of the 'Blog' section.

If that isn't an option, towards the bottom of the file will be the following:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

If you don't want this to show on any pages using the art template you can simply remove this line. This loads sidebar.php which contains something similar to this:

<?php if( !dynamic_sidebar( 'blog' ) ): ?>

    <h2 class="module-heading">Sidebar Setup</h2>
    <p>Please add widgets via the admin area!</p>

<?php endif; ?>

If you want the widgets to show on one page and not the other you will have to create a new template or sidebar widget section for this.

Hope that helps in some way.
