    Hello,

    I suddenly get an the message: Replace: Please update Host Sidebar

    I’ve tried removing all sidebars and recreating them but it only made things worse. I now don’t see any custom sidebar on any of my pages.

    I’ve already read some support issues and most of the time it seems to be related to the settings under “edit sidebar” and options. Here I selected “replace” but in the drop down underneath, where you would normally select which sidebar should be replaced nothing shows up for me. So I can’t select the host sidebar which needs to be replaced.

    I use the WP-Clear theme which has a working sidebar so I don’t see why that drop down would be empty. Hopefully you can help me out.

    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards,
    Erik

    Did this error occur after the latest update (version 1.3) or is this the only version you have tried?

    What the error means is that the plugin cannot find the Host Sidebar in the list of registered sidebars. This usually means that the sidebar does not exist (e.g. if you have switched themes) or that the specific sidebar is loaded “too late” or improperly.

    I think it occured after the last update. Not really sure since it was all working until I wanted to change them. Then everything went bad.

    The original sidebar is working properly (the once included in the WP-Clear theme), I just can’t select it in the settings of Content Aware Sidebar.

    Oh, I have not switched themes by the way. It used to work with WP-clear.

    Any tips on a solution?

    I see that the list of registered sidebars is generated earlier in version 1.3 than in the previous version, and though I thought it was timed to include all sidebars created by the theme or other plugins (which is hard as you can’t really know for sure), it might not be the case afterall. I will take a look at it and hopefully include a fix in the version coming out next week.

    If you are able to edit the plugin code, go to line 97 in content-aware-sidebars.php and replace:

    add_action('widgets_init',array(&$this,'create_sidebars'),99);

    with:

    add_action('wp_loaded',array(&$this,'create_sidebars'),99);

    Does this fix your problem? It should generate the list of sidebars in the plugin at a much later point.
