  I have a few sidebar widgets that are visible when viewing the site, but when I am in the widgets section, they are not in any of the sidebars- the sidebars do not have any widgets in them. I want to delete or alter these default widgets, but as they are invisible in the widget page, I have no idea how to do that.

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

  With some themes if you haven’t added any widgets to your sidebar(s), the theme will show a default set of widgets, which will not be listed in the Sidebar area.

  When you add widget(s) to a sidebar the default set of widgets will no longer be used. Try adding a blank Text Widget if you don’t want anything to show up in a widget area.
