• It would seem that Simple Sidebars is causing an error on my site. I’m running WordPress 5.0.3 as well as WPML – and with the Sidebars plugin activated, I get a ‘Failed to Update’ error whenever editing then updating a page or post in WordPress. Strangely enough, the edits still seem to work and are live on the public-facing page, but the error is a bit disconcerting and having to confirm in the additional pop up dialogue from WordPress whether I want to ‘leave or cancel’ is slowing work on the site down considerably.

    I’ve tried disabling other plugins and this seems to be the culprit.

    I checked with my hosting provider if it was a database issue and he provided this code from the error log – which really means nothing to me:

    [28-Jan-2019 12:42:57 UTC] Array
    (
       [no_found_rows] => 1
       [orderby] => Array
           (
               [orderby_meta] => DESC
           )
    
       [meta_query] => Array
           (
               [orderby_meta] => Array
                   (
                       [key] => _download_count
                       [type] => NUMERIC
                   )
    
               [0] => Array
                   (
                       [key] => _download_count
                       [value] => 0
                       [compare] => >
                       [type] => NUMERIC
                   )
    
           )
    
       [ignore_custom_sort] => 1
       [post_type] => dlm_download
       [posts_per_page] => 10
    )
