Issue custom sidebars more the 30 widgets

Hi @rick1975,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

I checked on my test site by adding more than 30 widgets but didn’t find any weird behavior.

Can you just test it by deactivating all plugins except Custom sidebars plugin and use default theme?

Best Regards,

Just deactivated all plugins changed theme but same behaviour of custom sidebars

Hi @rick1975,

Thanks for your reply.

Make sure you are using latest version of the plugin.

Can you try enabling WP_DEBUG mode and debug logging? To do this, just go to wp-config.php include this:

define('WP_DEBUG',true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG',true);

You might already have a line for WP_DEBUG, so just make sure it’s set to true. This will create a log file under wp-content/debug.log with detailed information.

If you’d like to avoid end users seeing error messages, you can include this as well:

@ini_set(‘display_errors’,0);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);

This will prevent errors from being displayed, but you can still find them in the log file. For information on this, checkout this wpmu.org article.

Also check the javascript console for errors? In Chrome go to “View -> Developer -> Javascript Console” and in Firefox you can go to “Tools -> Web Developer -> Console”

Let me know what errors if any you are getting!

Best Regards,

Hi @rick1975,

Thanks for your reply.

From the errors it seems that the theme italstudio and plugin dynamic-headers are causing to produce it so deactivating plugins and changing theme should make widgets functionality work but if it doesn’t then try re installing latest version of WordPress so that any damaged WP core file will be recovered.

Are you not getting any Javascript erros in Javascript Console when you are in widgets page in back end?

Best Regards,

Well, I have tried that but not succes.

Why are the first 10 sidebars working as they should and after that they dont’t?

Even stranger I just noticed after 10 sidebars I can select a widget and when I drag it goes automaticly to the sidebar below. After 20 sidebars I cant select a widget at all.

Hi @rick1975,

I have tested it on my test site creating 20 sidebars and also creating 30 widgets in a sidebar but i didn’t face any issue in it.

Can you just make sure you are using latest version of plugin?

Can you test it by creating another test site and use latest WordPress version along with default theme and don’t install any other plugin than Custom sidebars?

Kind Regards,

After updating the core to 3.8 the problem was resolved.
