 * I just reinstalled my WordPress theme called D’Computers 1.0 by D’. I noticed
   that there were 2 extra items (categories, and links) on my sidebar 2. I removed
   all widgets from sidebar 2, but those 2 are there. I wonder what php file that
   could possibly control the sidebar 2? By the way, I tried it with a different
   WordPress theme, but no success. What is your suggestion to fix this problem?

 * Try adding some widgets. A lot of times a theme will have some widgets included
   by default that are replaced when you add widgets of your own.

 * Let me reiterate this problem. After I reinstalled it, I noticed that there were
   more widgets than what there were supposed to. Then I removed all the widgets
   that I added. There I found that there were 2 that I did not add. Something weird
   did happend after reinstalled the theme, D’Computers 1.0. What is the culprit
   behind this strange thing?

 * Does your theme have a sidebar.php? Try removing the code after `<?php if (!function_exists('
   dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar()) : ?>` and see if that resolves it.

 * I have sidebar1.php and sidebar2.php. However, I did not find the code as you
   described.
    Here is what my sidebar2.php file looks like:
 * <div class=”art-sidebar2″>
    <?php if (!art_sidebar(2)): ?> <div class=”art-Block”
   > <div class=”art-Block-body”> <div class=”art-BlockHeader”> <div class=”l”></
   div> <div class=”r”></div> <div class=”art-header-tag-icon”> <div class=”t”><?
   php _e(‘Categories’, ‘kubrick’); ?></div> </div> </div><div class=”art-BlockContent”
   > <div class=”art-BlockContent-tl”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-tr”></
   div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-bl”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-br”
   ></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-tc”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-
   bc”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-cl”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-
   cr”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-cc”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-
   body”>
    -  <?php wp_list_categories(‘show_count=1&title_li=’); ?>
 *  </div>
    </div>
 *  </div>
    </div> <div class=”art-Block”> <div class=”art-Block-body”> <div class
   =”art-BlockHeader”> <div class=”l”></div> <div class=”r”></div> <div class=”art-
   header-tag-icon”> <div class=”t”><?php _e(‘Links:’, ‘kubrick’); ?></div> </div
   > </div><div class=”art-BlockContent”> <div class=”art-BlockContent-tl”></div
   > <div class=”art-BlockContent-tr”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-bl”></
   div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-br”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-tc”
   ></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-bc”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-
   cl”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-cr”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-
   cc”></div> <div class=”art-BlockContent-body”>
    -  <?php wp_list_bookmarks(‘title_li=&categorize=0’); ?>
 *  </div>
    </div>
 *  </div>
    </div>
 * <?php endif ?>
    </div>
 * Those 2 items that I have now are “Categories and Link”.
