    I have Winning Agent Pro and am switching an old site over to the new Theme. For some reason the categories from the old site Posts are being listed in the welcome section with the title of Categories. I deleted all the categories and now there is one entry in the welcome section - which is "uncategorized".
    How do I get rid of this last entry in the welcome widget section?

    Have you checked Appearance > Widgets to be sure there is no category widget in the welcome widget area? Sometimes when you change child themes, your widgets will jump into the wrong areas due to the difference between which widget areas are included in the theme. Hopefully that makes sense!

    Andrea, yes I checked and there are no widgets in the welcome area. The site is still rough - I need to do some more work on it and then I can post a link if I don't sort out the issue by then.
    Thanks, Gary
