Hi!

Edit this wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php & delete the following lines:

<li><h2>Archives</h2> <ul> <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?> </ul> </li>

 <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>'); ?>

 <?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>

 <?php wp_meta(); ?>

Let us know how it goes..

If you could let us know what links you want to remove then it would allow us to help you in a better way. The above steps shown by Rock would ideally remove the Archives and category links which you might want to keep.

Re: Wordpress theme customization

One way of going about it is to customize the theme. Go to ‘Appearance’ and then to ‘Theme’. Click on ‘widgets’. It will show you all the elements of the theme. If you don’t want certain things in the sidebar or in the header or footer, they can be removed by modifying the respective widgets.
