  You might have to into widgets and reset. I had to a couple of times after picking new themes.

  You are dealing with a new widget set up so you have to select the ones you want to use, configure them and activate them. > Appearance > Widgets.

  All themes here will display a default display that appears to contain a sample set of widgets in the sidebar and/or footer when you have not yet added any of your own. Go to Appearance > Widgets and add the widgets you desire and configure them and the default display will disappear.
