    Hi there! I’m having trouble finding the ‘following’ button widget and I’d like to disable it from appearing to my visitors. Could you help me out with this?
    Also, could you please explain why I am unable to locate the ‘widget’ option in the customize section?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi! The follow button located in the Action Bar is automatically added and can’t directly be removed from a free site. For sites that use the Premium plan, it can be hidden using custom CSS code however, and sites using a plugin-enabled plan such as the Business plan typically do not display it – if this and other features could be useful to you it might be worth looking into upgrading:

    As it is for your current theme, you should be able to find the Widgets section either under Appearance > Widgets, or under Appearance > Customize > Widgets. I took the liberty of checking your site but it does seem that the widgets option appears when you’re looking in the Customizer!

    If it isn’t showing for you, please do share a screenshot with us and we’ll be able to help check it over too.
