    Hi there,

    I’d like to remove the Archives bar from my main page. It gives a list of links to the months when I’ve made posts for the last 8 years or so.

    Is it possible to remove this? I use the Twenty Ten theme.

    Many thanks

    Hey there,

    Sure, it’s possible to remove it.
    That’s an ‘Archives’ widget that you are using in your sidebar area.
    Please head to My Sites > Design > Customize > Widgets > Sidebar > Click on the ‘Archives’ widget and click on ‘Delete’.

    Please let us know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply.

    I’ve followed your suggestions, but it seems that I don’t have an archives widget to delete.

    I installing one and then deleting it, but the archives still sidebar remains. Any ideas?!

    Hello,

    Did you check in the sidebar widget?

    Can you check it from the dashboard from
    https://karlrees.co.uk/wp-admin/widgets.php

    You will see a sidebar tab and the widgets present under it. You can remove it from there as well.
    Something like in the screenshot below:

    Please try that and let us know how that goes!

    If that doesn’t work for you, you can hide it through custom CSS.
    Below is the CSS for it: 

    li#archives {
display: none;
}

    This should definitely do the job.

    But before trying out the CSS, I recommend you check in the wp-admin/widgets section first. :)

    Thanks!
