Hello,
We are using Sidekick plugin and it has great resources to learn and manage wordpress. But this plugin has not been updated for more than an year. Can you please let us know if you still support the plugin or updating it anytime soon? Probably update the readme.txt to trigger the update as our security plugin shows a warning for your plugin.
Thanks
Dean Hall
I was under the impression that I could get the full version for free if using GoDaddy, is that no longer valid?
I installed the plugin through the GoDaddy Pro dashboard but when using it I get an upgrade button.
]]>Hi,
This plugin came with the Dynamix theme which asks to install this plugin after I activated my Dynamix theme. However, if a subscriber is logged in clicking on dashboard he/she will see this notice: Sorry, but you do not have the correct permissions to install the Sidekick plugin. Contact the administrator of this site for help on getting the plugin installed. Please contact the administrator of this site for help.
How can I disable this notice for all my subscribers. They will see this notice on their dashboard. I even uninstalled the sidekick plugin and it’s still there.
Thank you.

]]>What function do I need to add to remove sidekick from WP Admin > Themes > Customize?
]]>I just installed sidekick and it jacked up my website bad, me and all admins are locked out of the admin panel, I’d like to just delete it and be able to get back into it… It loads for a few minutes then it takes me to the browser error page with the url as follows:
https://dailyps.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sidekick
Has anyone else had this happen? I need help ASAP.
]]>Hello. I cannot get Sidekick to load on Multisite using the Safari browser. Is this a known issue? Can someone please help me resolve this problem?
]]>Hello. I have the free version of Sidekick and I am not getting sound during any of the Yoast tutorials. My volume is on and I get sound during the WordPress tutorials but no sound during the Yoast tutorials. Can someone please help me resolve this issue? Thanks.

]]>Hello. I installed the free version of Sidekick on Multisite and I started watching the tutorials and following along and about halfway through the “Create a Page?” tutorial it suddenly gave me an “Audio Only” message. Is this supposed to happen or is there possibly a plugin conflict going on?

]]>Today I ran a VaultPress scan on a WordPress site. It reports “Suspicious code: Dangerous and threatening code often used to attack sites”
]]>Detected the signature PHP.Generic.BadPattern.6 on ./wp-content/plugins/sidekick/sidekick.php.
PHP.Generic.BadPattern.6
This code pattern is often used to run a very dangerous shell programs on your server. The code in these files needs to be reviewed, and possibly cleaned.
Sidekick appears to be breaking the WordPress Admin at the 782px mobile breakpoint:

]]>Before downloading the free plugin I wanted to see the library to see what tutorials are included with it and much to my dismay the url that is given on your wp plugin front page redirects to https://support.sidekick.pro/hc/en-us and not https://support.sidekick.pro/article/167-which-walkthroughs-are-included-with-wordpress-basics
Where can I find documentation that shows the 25 tutorials provided with the plugin?
]]>Hey Sidekick team,
Recently a user with a giant multisite with 3000+ subsites found things were getting progressively slower. After some troubleshooting, we found that a large amount of autoloaded data was pointing to the Sidekick plugin:
mysql> SELECT LENGTH(option_value),option_name FROM wp_options WHERE autoload='yes' ORDER BY length(option_value) DESC LIMIT 20;
898658 sk_checked_blogsThe code related to sk_checked_blogs:
sidekick/libs/licensing.php
19: $checked_blogs = get_option('sk_checked_blogs');
26: update_option('sk_checked_blogs', $checked_blogs);
73: update_option('sk_checked_blogs', $checked_blogs);
107: $checked_blogs = get_option('sk_checked_blogs');
132: $checked_blogs = get_option('sk_checked_blogs');
138: update_option('sk_checked_blogs', $checked_blogs);
328: $checked_blogs = get_option('sk_checked_blogs');
374: update_option('sk_checked_blogs', $checked_blogs);Is there any way to avoid autoloading ~900k of data? This is potentially creating a lot of overhead for larger multisites. Thanks!
]]>Hello,
I have a client using the Avada theme by https://theme-fusion.com/. It has a built in page composer which breaks when SideKick is activated. It just hangs while a loader bar twirls.
I assume its a Java issue.
]]>In the readme documentation, it mentions that we get free access to some extras if we’re hosting with one of the “partners”. However, all of the links to the partners page(s) seem to be broken at this point.
As far as I can tell, WPEngine is one of the partners for the Sidekick plugin, but I’m not sure how to go about activating the partner extras. I installed Sidekick on one of my WPEngine-hosted sites, but it’s telling me I have the free version, and that I need to upgrade to a paid account in order to see the rest that the plugin has to offer.
Is there anything special I need to do in order to make this work with WPEngine, or am I going about this all wrong? Thanks.
]]>Hello!
This plugin would be perfect as front-end user tutorial for new users. Is this available?
Debra
]]>Hi,
the plugin’s css takes over some common elements, e.g.
input[type=”button”], input[type=”submit”], button
This forces the css of the sidekick button over buttons from other plugins.
Thanks
Thomas
Hi
Composer is not working, I go through the process of creating a step but nothing happens after a click the save button. It just continues to show the assembling 1s and 0s by hand.
I checked the js console and found errors

]]>After looking through your website and creating a custom tutorial I noticed it’s only for the backend of WordPress. It says in the description that it can work for any PHP or web based application, so is it possible to create a tutorial for the frontend of a WordPress powered site?
Is that still in development? Paid service? One of my clients is requesting it.
Thanks for your time,
]]>I saw this in action and found it pretty great for beginners. so i installed it on a wordpress site but the help me button isn’t appearing??
No one has this issue?
]]>After upgrading to the latest version (2.0), I can no longer see the “Configure” section on the Settings > Sidekick page of the WordPress dashboard. This left me with no way to enable walkthroughs that I had previously disabled. Has this functionality been moved to a new location, or has it been completely removed?
]]>Hi Guys!
I didn’t install your plug-in and it is not included in the list of istalled plugins in my dashboard.
What makes me really very frustrated is that yesterday I published a few pages and posts. Behind my writing something was going on with my wordpress, as a result of which I see your plugin installed. But again it is not in the list of my installed plugins. And all the pages and posts that I published yesterday are vanished.
I spent the whole day on writing, so right now I will have to do the same job as yesterday.
I do not need your plugin, I will really appreciate that if you could provide me with instructions how to delete that.
I am sorry, but it looks very much like a spammy action plugin. I do not want it.
]]>Sidekick is not recognizing that I have woocommerce installed and isn’t providing me with the walkthrough for woocommerce as referenced in this page: https://www.sidekick.pro/woocommerce/
Help is appreciated, thank you in advance!
Ruben
]]>I have download the sidekick.
There is no activate button.
When I use it in the website, it started ok for a while after that is stop and cannot proceed further.
I am very new to word press and i dun know how to include a link to my site so that others can help or see the problems.
Appreciate anyone who can assist.
Thank you.
]]>I am making a website for an Indonesian friend who doesn’t know anything about wordpress. Does sidekick come in languages other than English (in this case: Indonesian)?

Sidekick somehow breaks the $.colorbox.close() functionality from the extremely widely-use javascript library colorbox.
I made a stripped down demonstration of the problem that you can replicate. See these two short videos, the first is with sidekick running, and the second without.
https://screencast.com/t/lzHQMWDn6k
https://screencast.com/t/KREHxi4edu
Below are the console commands I entered, that you can use to replicate the issue:
jQuery("head").append("<link rel='stylesheet' href='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.colorbox/1.4.33/example1/colorbox.css' type='text/css' media='all' />");
jQuery.getScript("https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.colorbox/1.4.33/jquery.colorbox-min.js");
jQuery.colorbox({html:'<h1>foo</h1>'});
jQuery.colorbox.close();
