  I attempted to remove the meta widget that seems to be appearing in every page even if i dont have it chosed in any of the sidebars.

  I went to appearance – widget – and tried to uncheck it but it doesnt seem to allow me to do it.

  What is this for and can I remove it?

  Thanks.

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

  Do you mean you are unable to delete the Meta widget from the sidebars?

  If so, try deleting your browser cache or try in a different browser and see if it helps.

  Yes. And i tried deleting browser cache and using a different browser. No luck. Meta widget still showing up with site admin & Log out bulleted underneath, in every page. Even if not added on widget option.

  what am i doing wrong?

  Thanks for your patience.

  Is it possible to make your blog public for a while so I can see what’s going on?

  The correct way to remove widget is to go to Appearance > Widgets screen, locate the widget on the sidebar panel, expand it if needed and click the Delete link.

  Just wish to confirm this is how you are deleting the widget.

  Went to Appearance -> Widget, Located Sidebars and Meta Widget is not even in there to be deleted.

  Made the site public for you to see and help me :)

  Thanks again.

  baskog.com is presently marked private and therefore can not be viewed by us volunteers. What theme are you using? Does the Meta Widget appear if you switch to another theme?

  As I read in the Gridiculous Pro support document, this theme has a special Widgetized Homepage Area to which Meta widget is added.

  So as shown in this screenshot , remove the Meta widget from Home Page Top Area in your Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets screen.

  Please try this and let us know how it goes :-)

  Happy New Year Chaitanyamsv,

  So here’s a screenshot of my appearance — widget window: My current widget page

  The meta widget is not even there.

  The link doesn’t work (it’s wrong).

  @elsamaeq: Have you read my prior response?
