This guide explains how to delete that “Most Commented” section in the middle of the footer of your WordPress site. This is a common request with the arethemia theme, but affects other themes as well.
- Go into the backend/dashboard of your WordPress Site
- Go to Appearance
- Go to Editor
- Select the Footer file from the menu on the right
- Look for the line of code: <h3>Most Commented</h3>
- Delete this line and every line up to and including: </ul>
- Your code should now look like this:
</div>
<div id=”front-popular”>
<div id=”recentpost”>
<?php /* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */ if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(5) ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?></div>
<div id=”mostcommented”>
<?php /* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */ if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(6) ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
