Error after update

Same here…the widget page is no more accessible.

Same here, after update from 3.0 to 3.x it’s impossible to go fully load widgets page.

My fix: go back to 3.0

Login through SSH or FTP, go to plugins dir, delete custom sidebars (or move it to another place) and then load custom sidebars 3.0 fom here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-sidebars/developers/

I have just made it and it works, no sidebars lost.

@susa38 we released some bug fixes a few hours ago did this version resolve your issues?

To use the older version you just need to use SFTP to overwrite the newer version with the previous version. This does not overwrite your the custom sidebars database tables for Custom Sidebars so your existing sidebars should still be availible.

As always, we suggest making a backup of your site before making any changes. Let us know how this works for you.

@jdailey thanks for the update, it works now, at least for me ??

@abellagarcia thank you for your patience and response.

Ohhh. Do not work form me.
In my case I use nginx
php 7.0.16
fast CGI served from apache
memory limit 256
mx execution time 60
max_input_time 60

the error when I go to widgets page is

504 Gateway Time-out
nginx

I am getting the white screen of death on the widgets page – I’ve tried rolling back as far as 3.0.0.1 and still I get the same problem. The only thing that brings the widgets page back is deactivating custom side bars plugin.

With the new update 3.0.3 is the same for me. I can not open the widgets page.
I know not all the people who use the plugin have this error. But has anyone with this error get to solve it? What ways can I take?

Now I can open Widget Page but after…2-3 minutes of loading ??

I can’t understand, it was perfect before these last updates.

For me work Versión 2.1.2.0 that is possible to download from
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-sidebars/developers/

1- I deactivate the plugin
2- Move the 3.0.3 version to other folder (not inside plugins folder)
3- Upload via ftp the 2.1.2.0 version
4- Activate the plugin

On the change log says that the recents version of the plugin are the same for the free and the pro users. is it possible that the pro version use a lot of resources form the server?

If someone has a solution post it, please

Thanks @susa38 – 2.1.2.0 worked for me too.

Hoping the developers will provide a proper fix soon.

Hello @susa38,

To solve the 504 error gateway, please increase the max execution time. Add the line to php.ini:
max_execution_time = 300

Or edit the .htaccess file and add this line at the very bottom:
php_value max_execution_time 300

@baco99

This looks like a conflict with another plugin, please run a quick check for a conflict.

Deactivate all other plugins and test the loading speed. If everything is well, activate one plugin at a time to find the one that causes this.

Follow the steps from the flowchart:

@julala

White screen means that there is a conflict with another plugin. Please run a quick test for a conflict, follow the instructions above.
