Ey Guys,

The solution you posted works, but it is not recommendable because it changes the sidebars selection priority, so it will mess some other pages of your site.

The proper bug fixing is updating the line 175 of customsidebars.php

if(isset($defaults['post_type_posts'][$post_type]) && isset($defaults['post_type_posts'][$post_type][$sidebar]))

adding a new check

if(!$this->replacements[$sidebar] && isset($defaults['post_type_posts'][$post_type]) && isset($defaults['post_type_posts'][$post_type][$sidebar]))

This will be fixed this way in the next version ??

Cheers

Fully working ??

Hi,

I have been busy recently and I couldn’t update the plugin quickly. But there is a new Version that should repair the issues that you point out.

Cheers,
Javi

Same problem here,

Any solutions?

Hi,

I have never tried that plugin, but it seems to have the same specs.

It seems that custom sidebars is easier to use because of its nice interface, and also allows you to set the sidebars for custom post types archives.

And Custom Sidebars is free, the plugin and the updates ??

Good Luck,

I got in touch with WPML people, and they gave me a license to develop a wpml version. But I don’t know yet if I should release it as a commercial plugin.

Anyway, It will be available in the future ??

Ey guys!!

Updated the plugin to be usable even with evil ids sidebars.

Update and give feedback please!!

I forgot, to downgrade the plugin, download the link above, and overwrite the folder /wp-contents/plugins/custom-sidebars using an ftp client like filezilla.

Houston, we got a bug!

And a solution too, luckyly. I do not why is it happening though, I have been trying to reproduce it in my installation but it was impossible for me. The only way to get your errors I think is that you created those sidebars with an older version of the plugin, long time ago, and you have been upgrading the plugin since that (you did it right, but the plugin doesn’t).

Anyway, your sidebars names are breaking the plugin:

Moxtelell your sidebar is called ?ko brocolly. The char ? is breaking the plugin

Denis, in your case the sidebar is called hypnothérapeutes and the char é is breaking the plugin.

The bad news is that you can’t keep those sidebars, so you will have to create a new one with the old contents and delete the buggy one. The other problem is that you cannot delete the sidebar, because of the name! What a cruel world. So the easy fix for you would be to downgrade the plugin to version 0.8.2

https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/custom-sidebars.0.8.2.zip

With that version it is possible to create sidebars with evil names, but you can also edit them (not delete them). So it is the easiest way to continue editing your sidebars.

In Custom Sidebars 1.2 I will try to fix this problem, so you will be able to upgrade again.

Cheers, and thanks for the feedback

It is not possible to remove a sidebar container with the plugin Custom Sidebars. The plugin just replace the contents of the sidebars container, the container is defined by the theme you are using, and you will have to modify your theme to remove the blank space.

Thanks for the info newmat, I will try to add the change to the next version

Hi Craig, the answer to your cuestion is in the FAQ

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-sidebars/faq/

Hi Guys!

I see some people are having problems with the last update of wordpress, I’ve received several emails complaining about it, but I have installed the plugin in a new WP 3.5.1 installation and works fine. Even upgrading an existent WP 3.4 everything worked fine.

So, I will need more info about the problem. Any of you is using chrome? if so, go to your wordpress > admin > widgets, where the plugin does not work, right click on the page and press Inspect Element option.

A new bottom bar has to appear at the bottom of chrome, and in the status bar you should see a red X with a number aside. Press it, and the errors of the page will be magically visible.

Can anyone give a screenshot of the errors to me or just copy and paste?

Thanks

Hi whoo,

Can you tell me what plugins are broken by the last version of custom sidebars? Maybe, i can fix it for the next version.

Cheers

Hi Doug,

Sorry for the delayed answer, That is a known problem of the new interface related to jQuery. The easiest solution for now is scrolling the page to the bottom when you are sorting your widgets in the sidebars column. There is a bug with the draggable interface and when you are sorting the elements in the bottom you need to scroll the page to the bottom. It’s strange isn’t it?? I’m working on a solution soon.

Cheers.
