All of the sudden, I can’t assign a sidebar

    Trying to assign a custom sidebar to a page and am unable to accomplish this.

    This https://wordsinasentence.com/testing2/ is essentially a clone of this https://wordsinasentence.com/testing/

    Both pages use the same template. Never ran into an issue with this plugin until today.

    I updated to the latest version of this plugin, cleared all cache & cookies and still can’t assign a custom sidebar to this page.

    Is this a known issue?

    Thanks.

    To elaborate more and make more sense,

    I can’t assign a sidebar to this page https://wordsinasentence.com/testing2/ even though I was able to assign one to this page https://wordsinasentence.com/testing/

    Both pages are using the same page template.

    I even tried assigning the same sidebar that works for wordsinasentence.com/testing/ to the page I’m having trouble with but no dice.

    I also created a new page and tried assigning a working sidebar. Still, no sidebar shows after publishing the page.

    It seems weird and bizarre that I was able to create a sidebar for one page and not any more, as if there’s a limit imposed on the number of sidebars I can create.

    I don’t think another plugin could have caused this issue as I “was” able to have sidebars appear on pages before.

    I’m stumped at this point and am wondering if you all have heard of this issue. Thank you.

    Hello @jimmyk1006,

    Hope you’re doing well!

    Thank you for posting links to both pages. The sidebar is hidden with the CSS code on the test2 page. There is a CSS code #secondary {display: none;} located in the style.css of the theme, that hides a sidebar from this page.

    Please try the following CSS. Use the plugin like the Simple Custom CSS plugin. and add the code there:

    #primary  {float: left; width:75%;}
#secondary {display: block; float:right; margin-right: 2.5%; margin: auto; width: 206px;}

    Let me know how it went!

    Kind regards,
    Nastia

    Thank you Nastia. This was a fault 100% on my end as I’m supposed to edit the css for each individual page.

    Thanks..now I can stop scratching my head!
