Hi, I was so happy to find this plugin, but there is a problem for multilingual websites. I have some widgets available for all languages, these are shown as expected but the once with a single language related, these do not appear inside the sidebar. As the code is quiete selfexplaining I might have a look into it and write a workarround but perhaps someone can push a solution into the official branch. Thanks in advance and best regards

after installing the plugin I got some warning

Warning: mysqli_query(): MySQL server has gone away in C:\xampp\htdocs\healthcare\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 2030

Warning: mysqli_query(): Error reading result set’s header in C:\xampp\htdocs\healthcare\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 2030

please help me out this and my wp-debug option is false

Is there a way to display a widget on a secondary site on the primary site?

Thanks

Hi,

I am confused what is sidebar ID, I use only one same theme for all sites in my WPMU.

in function.php of the theme, sidebar ID is “sidebar”, but I can’t show them correctly only the first ad.

I put multisite shared widget into my child site sidebar, and put blog ID: 1; sitebar ID: sitebar, but I can’t get them.

How should I do？

I have followed the steps on your instructions but its not showing/pulling the sidebar from blog 1. I see no errors produced or nothing so I can’t really give much of a hint on where to start. Can you please confirm the steps and that it works on 4.7.3?

When I activate the plugin it says that wordpress can’t activate the plugin because it generates a fatal error.

Version 1.1.1 of the plugin needs to be corrected with the following updates to fix the PHP notice and deprecation of the wp_get_sites method:

Change line 93 to:
$my_blogs = get_sites();

Change line 99 to:
switch_to_blog( $blog->blog_id );

Change line 135 to:
$my_blogs = get_sites();

Change lines 141 and 142 to:

if( $blog->path == $path || $blog->blog_id == $arg )
				return $blog->blog_id;

I found the description and the images kind of confusing.
I wrote these steps out for anyone else looking for clarification:

1. in your multisite Network Admin, visit your list of sites, hover over the name of the PRIMARY site that you want to mirror a sidebar of widgets from, and note the id number at the end of the URL for that site within the your multisite wordpress installation
2. on your PRIMARY site, create a bunch of widgets in a sidebar (these will all be shared together as a group in the cloned sidebar on a SECONDARY site eventually)
3. in your theme files, where the sidebars are generated, note the id of the sidebar that you are attempting to clone
4. on your SECONDARY site, in your admin widgets section, drag and drop the [Multisite Shared Sidebar] widget to one of your sidebars available on your secondary site (if you use the same theme, you would place it in the same sidebar location as found on the primary site)
5. in the field with the title “Blog ID: or Blog Path:”, enter that ID number that you noted for the PRIMARY site in step 1.
6. in the field with the title “Sidebar ID:”, enter the name of the sidebar that you noted in step 3
7. save the widget, and load up the page of the SECONDARY site where the sidebar exists

You should see the PRIMARY sidebar duplicated inside the sidebar location of the SECONDARY site where you put the Multisite Shared Sidebar widget.

Hello! Thanks for developing this plugin. I’ve configured it this morning and it’s working on my test site, but there is one thing (as far as I tried) that is not working: custom menus. The title of the widget is printing but not the content.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance!
