  hello,

  I tried searching to find a way to remove the built-in categories and meta sidebar widgets, while keeping the archives widget.

  I would appreciate any help.

  Thanks.

  You can delete and create new categories on Posts → Categories. Widgets can be added or removed under the Appearance → Widgets menu.

  Thank you, mariano.

  But, there are currently no widgets selected to be active under the widgets menu. I think that the sidebar is preprogrammed as part of the blogum theme. I am just looking to remove a portion of it.

  Thanks.

  Just drag the “Archives” widget from the Available Widgets area on the left into the Sidebar area on the right :)
