Can you post a screenshot with a highlight on exactly what you want to remove?

Sure! Thank you for your response!

The first picture is why the problem what I am trying to get rid of, because it is occupying space on the home page (type: front-intro). The second picture is why I need it -- it is useful on the published articles/issues on the website (type: post). If my boss didn't want it on the published articles/issues, then it would be a simple disable/delete of the widget, but that isn't the case. I don't know how to get rid of it from the home page. It doesn't show up on type: pages, oddly enough.

What skin are you using?

You need to create a special template named `front.main.php` that is equal to (most probably) `posts.main.php` or `index.main.php` (depends on the skin you're using) except that instead of a "Sidebar" container you would make it have a "Frontpage Sidebar" container (for example, choose any name you like).

So you would do this by duplicating `posts.main.php` or `index.main.php` and renaming it to `front.main.php` .

Then you would edit the file `front.main.php` and change the name of the "Sidebar" container so it has a different name, which makes it become a different container which can have different widgets.

Then on the widgets page, click the "reload" icon to see the new container appear.

Making sense?
