  I have my widgets in the sidebar which is where I want them. However, they are also showing in my footers. Had do I get rid of them?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. Go to the WP-Admin dashboard ->Appearance ->Widget or My Sites ->Customize ->Widgets

  Look for the Footer Widget area and delete any widgets appearing there. If the footer area does not show any widgets, that means it’s the default widgets showing. In that case, add a text widget to the footer, but don’t give it a title or any content. That should make the default widgets disappear.

  Widgets can only be added to the widget areas supported by the theme. If your theme doesn’t have a footer widget area, then you can’t put widgets in the footer.

  Expound does not have a footer widget area, so there is no way to place widgets in the footer on that theme. You can only add them to the sidebar.
