denis: you have loggin in and entered some text in the sidebar page. yes it is now very clear to me what sidebar-tile is and does. it is a wonderful and brilliant plugin. thankyou. i am using it with joy and satisfaction.
———————————————————
for any who wish to see a temporary example – https://www.parentsawake.com/sidebartiletest/
The text example is the “OK, kids …”
for this webpage, if you were to log in as an administrator, you would also see a link called “edit sidebar text” underneath the example text “OK, kids …” . No users except for administrators can see this link.
if you do wish to see behind the scenes, you can login in with a temporary username with editor status (i will delete this user in a couple of days). go to manage pages and open sidebar page.

i have put up a “how to use sidebar-tile” topic –
to replace this one.
in a few days, i will mark this topic as resolved.
i will ask that this topic be removed, as the new topic, devoid of confusion, is a more helpful topic to others.

i am flabbergasted. over 3 months trying to make a perfectly fine plugin do a non-existent task.
i should have said to you: please save us all agony, and login and do whatever needs doing so i can see what it is and how it works.
this whole time, we have been talking at cross-purposes.
we are talking about 2 entirely different things.
i was expecting to see the contents of my sidebar.php appear in the sidebar page so that i could edit the sidebar.php in wordpress without having to open a text editor.
how is this possible? how did i get this impression?
i thought i understood your introduction perfectly.
“This plugin will be useful to any WordPress user who prefers to manage customizable sidebar text (e.g. “about me”) from WordPress rather than from an HTML editor.”
i thought “sidebar text” meant “sidebar.php”
so of course, i have been waiting for the “sidebar.php” text to appear somewhere.
