    Just updated your plugin.. and now do not have any custom sidebars appearing on my website.

    In the widget page I have a list of widget areas and the message:

    inactive sidebar (not used)

    This sidebar is no longer available and does not show anywhere on your site. Remove each of the widgets below to fully remove this inactive sidebar.

    However; the code is still on my webpages, and the custom widget areas are still listed on your plugin admin page.

    I can get the code from your plugin admin page, search for it on my website pages… found! The code is the same as already on my pages.

    How do I reactivate these custom widget areas?

    Hi krozero,

    Back in action… working perfectly!!!

    I want to take this opportunity to thank you for such an amazing plugin.

    It really is so easy to add custom widget areas with this plugin.

    Many thanks,

    Hi! I’m having a similar issue. I have WP Custom Widget area 1.2.2. I just installed it, created a custom widget area, but since it showed on the right side of articles, and i need the widget on the footer area of the site i deleted the widget area that i created, disabled the plugin but i now have an area that i can’t control on my website!
    Although i added no widgets, i have the Archive and Meta widgets added to my sidebar widget area, when on widget configuration i have no widgets added to any widget area!

    Please help, because i had to make pages full width so that the widget area is not shown on my pages.

    Thanks!

    A note, after searching on my db for “wp-custom-widget-area” it found one result in the “options” table:
    option_id: 135
    option_name: recently_activated
    option_value: a:4:{s:47:”wp-custom-widget-area/wp-custom-widget-area.php”;i:1462369365;s:53:”child-theme-configurator/child-theme-configurator.php”;i:1461977094;s:25:”cloudflare/cloudflare.php”;i:1461946271;s:43:”wp-maintenance-mode/wp-maintenance-mode.php”;i:1461867636;}
    autoload: yes

    What do you recommend?

    Hi Filipe, can you try following in the footer where where you are having unwanted sidebar :

    <?php if( is_active_sidebar('sidebar-name') ) { ?>
  <ul class="widgets-container">
    <?php dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-name'); ?>
  </ul><!-- /widgets-container -->
<?php } ?>

    not sure whats going on in your code. may be you have another widget area code defined in your function.php or in your theme related php file. because when you disable “Custom widget area” it automatically disables widget areas registered with “Custom widget area ” plugin.

    Thanks,
    Kishor

    Hi and thanks for answering. I didn’t quite understand what to do with the code, but i added it to my footer.php file and i still had the issue with the widget area.

    The strange thing is that all was working fine until i installed the plugin and created a widget area. After that i can’t remove this “ghost” widget area because i have no widgets added but i still see the sidebar with at least two widgets, “archive” and “meta”.
