 * I can’t remove certain widgets from the
    sidebar such as:
 * Categories
    Archives Massive Rss button Blogroll Rss Feeds (comments) and (posts)
   and Meta (admin login)
 * I remove them in the WP admin area
    but they still show up on my site. I’ve been
   trying to figure this out for hours now with no avail =(
 * Any help?
 * Here’s a link to the sidebar.php file
    [http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1573450](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1573450)
 * and here’s a link to the site [here](http://makehotrapbeats.com)
 * using the Seo Basics WP theme.

 * If you comment or delete the following lines, you get rid of Category and Archives
   entries on your sidebar. If you keep looking down, you will find the others.
 *     ```
       <li id="categories">
                                       <div class="title"><?php _e( 'Categories', 'sandbox' ) ?></div>
                                       <ul>
       <?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&show_count=0&hierarchical=1') ?>
   
                                       </ul>
                               </li>
   
                               <li id="archives">
                                       <div class="title"><?php _e( 'Archives', 'sandbox' ) ?></div>
                                       <ul>
       <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly') ?>
   
                                       </ul>
                               </li>
       ```
