Genesis Simple Sidebars Illegal string

  • The topic was closed but Ron Rennick is wrong. You don’t have to quote “Go into your database and delete the ss-settings option (wp_options table). You will have to re-create your sidebars.”

    What you do is search wp-options for the “option_name” ss-settings and then click edit.

    The first line will look something like this –>
    a:10:{s:17:”sidebar-districts”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:19:”Southwest
    but you should see i=0 change the 0 to a 1 and save. Copy the entire block and save it to a text editor first so you can go back if you mess up. If the database doesn’t like your edit the entire block will be gone and you have to re-paste the original code back in and try again. Once that is done you can go to Genesis>Simple Sidebars in the dashboard and delete the null sidebar.
