How to Turn off Widgets in a Wordpress Theme

1. Open your computer's default Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome, and browse to your website.
2. Access the administration area of your Wordpress website and log in using your admin username and password (for the WordPress blog). The default administration URL for Wordpress is accessible by entering '/wp-admin' after your WordPress website's URL (only if you have not changed the administration directory yourself in your Web host).

3. Scroll on the left side bar until you view 'Appearance' as one of the tab headers within the navigation. Click the arrow icon to the right of 'Appearance' to view the drop-down menu of options you have in WordPress, including Widgets.
4. Select 'Widgets' from below the 'Appearance' tab and allow all of your current widgets and the sidebar to load within the WordPress administration area. From this page 'Available Widgets', 'Inactive Widgets', and 'Full Width Sidebar' will be your options with the widgets in their said place.
5. Drag any widgets under 'Available Widgets' to deactivate and turn off their use entirely from your website. This will deactivate any scripts or codes that also come with the widget. Dragging an 'Inactive Widget' to the 'Available Widgets' section will activate the widget, making it available for use and placement on your website. Place an 'Available Widget' on to your website by dragging one to the 'Full Width Sidebar.' This will activate the widget for users to view on your website. Dragging a widget to a new section will cause your website to save instantly and automatically, with no need to save final changes.
6. Remove a widget from your website that is active and placed within the 'Full Width Sidebar' by clicking the arrow icon directly to the right of the widget title. Within the dropped down content, select 'Delete' to remove the widget from being actively displayed on your WordPress website.
