Title: Category widget problems Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Category widget problems * Resolved [htct](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htct/) * (@htct) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-widget-problems/) * Hi there I am setting up my blog website [http://www.housesittingtailscyclingtrails.com](http://www.housesittingtailscyclingtrails.com) * Using the enigma inferno theme and I am having problems with the archive category widget keep appearing on my blogs. Even though I have not selected it in widget setup. All I want to do is view blogs right across the page ( as I have set up for some of my pages- see about us- for example) so that no category widgets ( including archives) appear on the site, just the blog information. Also, when I retrieve a blog from category widget- Australian Tails, I get the heading category archive Australian trail, where all I want to see is Australian tails! Can anyone help please!

Can they be made smaller, also change font, bold text, etc- thanks * [weblizar_support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/weblizar_support/) * (@weblizar_support) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-widget-problems/#post-7417411) * Hi.. * Please add any widget in sidebar then Archive blog from sidebar will removed. * Thanks. * Thread Starter [htct](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htct/) * (@htct) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-widget-problems/#post-7417436) * Hi there Thank you for getting back to me. I have just two widgets active, two AVH extended category widgets, I do not have an archive widget. When I go to the Housesitting tails page, I have the Housesitting tails widget which shows the two categories Australian tails and New South Wales. But, when I then view a post, a archive widgets appears showing monthly post dates. I just would like to see a post right across the page with no archive widget showing. Also, is it possible to make the widget smaller, it takes up a lot of the page Thanks David * [weblizar_support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/weblizar_support/) * (@weblizar_support) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-widget-problems/#post-7417445) * Hi.. * Please add below css code into custom css editor. * ``` .enigma_sidebar_widget { display: none !important; } ``` * Save the changes. * Thanks. * Thread Starter [htct](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htct/) * (@htct) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-widget-problems/#post-7417502) * Hi * Thanks for the help.

Yes it worked, but not only has the archive widget gone but also my two AVH extended category widgets that have all my posts.

', 'before_widget' => '
', //for diff.-2 classes of widget 'after_widget' => '
