Sidebars not showing in Swift theme

i checked the html code in the browser, and the html of the sidebar was there.

it seem to be a ‘one in a million chance’ conflict with shadowbox:

this style from /wp-content/plugins/cool-video-gallery/cvg-player/shadowbox.css:

#sb-container{position:fixed;margin:0;padding:0;top:0;left:0;z-index:999;text-align:left;visibility:hidden;display:none;}

conflict with <div id="sb-container"> from sidebar.php:

</div><!--/right container-->
<div id="sb-container">
	<div class="wide-sidebar">

Awesome thanks. I deleted the plugin and that fixed it. I was planning to replace that plugin anyway because so far every video I have tried to upload has failed.

Hi Jonas Grumby,

May I Know what sort of issue you came across with video playing.

Thanks,
Praveen

Apparently there is a DIV ID #sb-container in both the plugin and the theme. As far as the uploads failing, I don’t know. I am now using a different plugin that lets you upload via FTP and specify the path.

I just tried this and I’m able to play the your video file from https://johnnasta.com/cdb/wp-content/uploads/video/ExodusTrailer.mp4 with this plugin perfectly.

Thanks,

You can use the Scan Gallery Folder from Gallery Details page after uploading via FTP.

Thanks,

About the DIV ID #sb-container, that comes along with the Shadowbox package. I guess then only either one will work.

This is happening again. Here is the live URL…

Sorry I didn’t follow the thread from the beginning. But it appears as thought there is an image trying to be displayed with an incorrect source url.

that was it, thanks. I must be getting tired…

@jonas

Is the plugin activated now? I guess not. So this is no longer the plugin issue i hope.

And with the image issue the above reply answers it ??

Thanks,
Praveen

This is with the Simple Flash Video plugin. Thanks.

Hi, Im having the same issue. I have WP 3.14 and using Swift theme. After I installed the plugin the sidebar disappeared. According to alchymyth in the post above, there is a conflict with shadowbox:

Is there any possible way to fix this Praveen R?
any suggestions anyone?

thanks

Hi @danmont. It seems to me that you could edit the video plugin to replace all occurrences of sb-container (in the css & php files) with your own unique ID. Then you would not have the conflict. A good editing program will let you do “advanced search & replace” so you could do all of the files simultaneously and then upload via FTP. Of course make a backup first. HTH.

Hello, I am having the same problem, suddenly no sidebar, except I’m not using that plugin. The site, in development, is here: https://www.mossley-council.co.uk/dev/

I’m using a righthand sidebar layout with everything in Wide SB Top. The widgets sitting there are events manager, recent posts and links. These were working fine a few days ago.

Can anyone advise?
