I am trying to remove a lightbox which pops up on my site when visitors enter my site on a desktop. It doesn’t happen on a mobile.  
This lightbox is not shown under the lightbox tab on the left side of the Wix editor.  
What am I missing? I am a complete novice at this so any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Sometimes the editor glitches out. This has happened to me before a handful of times (and I have built hundreds of Wix sites).

Go to the Lightboxes area and add a new lightbox. Save. Refresh the editor and suddenly all of the missing lightboxes will be visible in the editor menu again.

If it is a system generated lightbox (and not one you previously built) then post a screenshot so we can see what you are looking at.

That’s great.  
Thank you.

I now have another problem with WIX.  
I have been working on updating our website and have embedded a widget code onto every page of our website before the header bar!  
I cannot find a way of removing it because it is not showing up on the editor ?!  
Any advice would be appreciated.

Try not to recycle a post by changing the title. This will confuse the forum members if they are looking up an answer but the conversation is about a completely different topic.

For your new question about embedded code, you added code to your wix dashboard under the custom section via the settings —- instead of using the html embed element located inside of the editor.
