Just HOW do I remove this pesky block - drupal

I've tried deleting blocks, disabling views - the lot! I just can't get this little block to go away!
A block called "Related Forum" is showing up on our knowledge base pages an example is found - here.
I'd like the whole Related Forum block removed from any /help* page:
If I login and hover my mouse over the block, no settings icon appears.
Any idea?

Navigate to the blocks admin page at "admin/structure/block".
There somewhere you should see your block (generated from a view) named something like "View: related forums".
Click configure and change this blocks visibility settings under the "pages" tab at the bottom of the configure page.
If this does not work, check that this block is not being specifically included in a template file.
Another thing that may be affecting it is the context module.

WordPress: Not displaying changes of updated pages

I have update a page in my wordpress site using web admin back end, but what I see is that even if I update a page, it does not get updated online. Moreover, some of the content of the page which I see online /live are not actually texted in the area where we put the content.
On the right side navigator, in the page attribute area Parent has been set to No Parent, template --> Home Page.
Can you please let me know what could be the possible reason why the live content of the page is different from what I can see in the actual text area through web admin panel?
Also updating a page does not reflects on the page as well for that particular page.
First make sure you are editing the right page. Click in the frontend adminbar on edit instead of navigating in the backend through the pages list.
Secondly it can be any caching related issue. Check out if there are any plugins or settings for this.
Areas that are on the page but not editable via the content can be widgets or any kind of theme builder stuff. Check in the backend design->widgets.
The page hierarchy (parent: no parent) can be differ from the actually website navigation. Check out design->menus. It is possible to build other hierarchies in the menus.

UberMenu options screen doesn't work at menu setup

I just purchased and installed UberMenu plugin version v3.2.1.1, followed the setup exactly the way they described, and I'm able to see the Ubermenu instance in my front page, as it should be.
However, I can't access the customization area of the menu, and therefore I can't tweak it my own way.
When I go to Appearance -> Menus and click on the Uber button on any menu item, all I get is an empty options popup, just like the image below. None of the tabs present any content, it's just like the plugin scripts weren't being loaded.
However I see that blue popup in the lower right end of the screen saying it was being loaded correctly, and it's gone properly when it ends the job.
What can I do to enable/load correctly the configuration options for this plugin?
Thanks!
There are generally 2 possibilities that can make this happen:
A PHP error occurs (for example, a memory limit exception), preventing the page from loading the content critical to the menu item settings panel. You can check if that's the case by viewing your Menus Panel page source and seeing if you have a closing HTML tag.
or
The theme alters the admin menu structure via a custom Walker, resulting in the plugin not being able to find the appropriate data within the admin menu items to generate the settings panel. This is not very common, but can happen with themes that offer their own custom menu item settings within the Appearance > Menus Panel, as they alter the standard item markup to suit their needs.

Basic Drupal Modifications

On my Drupal site I am using a theme that puts a log-in prompt on the main page. I want to move it to a separate page. How do I do that? Also, once I move or remove it, How would I go about still logging on as the admin?
The home page is here http://www.arguemax.com/_drupal-7.26/
Update:
Right, the bottom right block. I solved the problem, as suggested, by removing the block.
The login form on the main page was a Block. You disabled it by going to
Administration >> Structure >> Blocks. There found a list with all
blocks for the current theme. I just moved the Login Block to the Disabled area at the bottom.
Now I have an issue with the Navigation block. But that is a subject for another discussion thread
The login prompt is a block. Disable it or configure it not to appear on the front page or to only appear on certain pages or whatever.
The URL to access blocks in D7 is: /admin/structure/block
Until you clarify the log-in prompt you talk about, I can already say several things:
No need to do something special to "move the log in functionnality to a separate page" because it will always be on that page: http://www.arguemax.com/_drupal-7.26/user. If you want it to be accessible through the menu, just go to admin>structure>menu and add a link into the right menu.
To log in as the admin, just go to http://www.arguemax.com/_drupal-7.26/user like any other user and use your admin username and password normally.
I'm waiting for your edit to complete my answer ;)

Drupal 7 Views - Node Content Not Appearing

I have an issue in Drupal with getting node content to display itself. I suspect it could have to with the CSS styling, although I'm not 100% sure what's causing the issue.
Background:
So basically I'm trying to setup a blog but I'm running into serious issues trying to simply get the blog posts to display themselves.
I created a custom Drupal 7 theme using the export function of Artisteer (http://www.artisteer.com/?p=overview). A stylesheet called style.css was generated. I put some of my own CSS into this stylesheet along with the parts that were auto-generated. I should mention I did some amount of custom CSS to force the homepage to look the way I wanted.
I followed the instructions from the PDF at (http://learnbythedrop.com/buildingyourblog) to create a blog (great easy-to-follow guide). The most relevant pages for Views are pages 34 - 36, where he takes you through how to create a "Blog Post" view, in order to display your blog content correctly. However, when I got to the point where he created sample blog content and it displayed it's title and main content, this simply didn't work for me. See this link for example (Sample content that I created for testing purposes):
(http://www.productworld.com/blog-posts/2012/06/08/hello)
I can see a list of titles for sample content that I created (under the Recent Posts block), but I can't view any content from the individual blog posts themselves. The page is just blank.
Also, I can't see a list of the titles and teaser links - it should show up under (http://www.productworld.com/blog-posts) but that URL gives me a "page not found" error. This was something that worked in a previous iteration but now does not work.
Here are 2 screenshots of my View settings, in case it's relevant:

Questions:
What is the likely cause of the blog content not displaying? (If I do a preview of the blog post within the Views section I can see the blog content just fine, it just won't display on the actual page.) Is it styling? Some setting in Views? Some Block setting? I've searched my style.css file and tried commenting out everything to do with "content:hidden" and "display:none" to no avail. I've tried every combination of settings in the blog posts View to no avail. I've tried placing "Main Page Content" and "View: Blog Posts" blocks in various regions, and changing around the settings that restrict where the block can be displayed. The blog post title/body content doesn't show up in the page source at all, which could be a clue. How would I go about debugging such a problem?
Why is www.productworld.com/blog-posts saying "page not found", even though I've specifically set up a view to create a page at this URL? And why does www.productworld.com/blog-posts/2012/06/14/hello-world-3 show up as a valid page, when it contains "blog-posts" in it's URL?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I should display stuff to do with my stylesheet please let me know.
To me it looks as if you have panels overriding the Node template. Which is why your node is not being displayed properly.
Go to Structure > Panels and see if the Node Template option under Manage pages is enabled. If it is, that's probably your issue. You can tell if it's enabled by looking to the right of the text to see whether it says enable or edit.
You can then edit that setting and then edit the content and choose Node > Body to get the body of the blog post to show correctly.
Take a look at this intro video to panels if you aren't familiar with it. http://yadadrop.com/drupal-video/panels-3-overview
Take the leading '/' character out of your page path for the view - internal Drupal paths should generally never have that, but the system will prepend the configured base path to paths on your behalf (and it is probably already a '/').

Can't edit block in Drupal

I have recently started using Drupal but I am having a bit of difficulty editing some blocks. I've gone into the blocks admin menu and I can see a list of all of the different blocks being used and they have the configure option next to them.
If I click configure on some of them, on the next page I am given the 'edit block' box but on others the box doesn't show up (e.g. footer). How can I make the edit box show up or is there another way to edit them?
Thanks for any help.
1] visit this link http://drupal.org/project/block_edit and download module and install it on your site.
2] visit this link to apply setting admin/settings/block_edit.
What actually this module do?
It's provide a edit link on block itself where you are viewing it. Now clicking on edit link will redirect you to specific block edit page. This means need not to go deep inside and find block you want to edit.
Some modules, like the menu module, add blocks with auto-generated content that cannot be edited directly from the blocks admin page. Usually only content blocks added by yourself will have the edit block content option.
Footer will be a menu block, so there will be no editable area. If you want to make changes to the menu you'd need to edit the menu rather than the block.
