How do I how to remove blogroll & meta from right sidebar in 3.3.3?

I have 0 widgets showing so why is anything displayed in my sidebar?

Where is the code contained that displays the blogroll and meta (filename, line number)?

Thanks!

The only reason to remove that manually would be if you want an existing but blank sidebar. As soon as you put your first widget into a sidebar, the default content will be gone. To remove it manually delete the red parts, in header.php

<?php // Widgetize the Left Sidebar
if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>

<div class="widget widget_categories"><div class="widget-title">
<h3><?php _e('Categories','atahualpa'); ?></h3>
</div><div class="widget-content">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li='); ?>
</ul>
</div></div>

<div class="widget widget_archive"><div class="widget-title">
<h3><?php _e('Archives','atahualpa'); ?></h3>
</div><div class="widget-content">
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
</div></div>

<?php endif; ?>

and in footer.php

<?php // Widgetize the Right Sidebar
if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>

<div class="widget"><div class="widget-title">
<h3>Recent Posts</h3></div><div class="widget-content">
<?php $r = new WP_Query(array(
'showposts' => 20,
// 'cat__in'=>array(14),
'cat__not_in'=>array(15,80),
'what_to_show' => 'posts',
'nopaging' => 0,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'caller_get_posts' => 1));
if ($r->have_posts()) : ?>
<ul>
<?php while ($r->have_posts()) : $r->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php if ( get_the_title() ) the_title(); else the_ID(); ?> </a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
endif; ?>
</div></div>

<div class="widget"><div class="widget-title">
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('category_before=&category_after =&title_before=<h3>&title_after=</h3></div><div class="widget-content">'); ?>
</div></div>

<div class="widget"><div class="widget-title">
<h3><?php _e('Meta','atahualpa'); ?></h3>
</div><div class="widget-content">
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="
<?php _e('Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.','atahualpa'); ?>">
<?php _e('WordPress','atahualpa'); ?></a></li>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
</ul>
</div></div>

<?php endif; ?>

After reading your comment, the answer is so obvious. Still, it never occurred to me.

Looks like we all go schooled.


Truly, code-poetry. It says much, even when it says nothing.
