    Not sure what’s happening, but I don’t even see the entire widget area at all under the appearance menu.

  • Hello @johnramos

    Hope you’re doing well!

    Please let us know more information about this issue. Visit the Widget page via direct URL link, replace the yoursite.com with your domain name
    yoursite.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

    Let us know if this will work.

    Was the Widget menu showing up before the plugin installation? Would you please run a quick test for a conflict with another plugin or a theme?

    – Deactivate all plugins, besides the Custom Sidebars and see if the menu appeared
    – Switch to another theme, to see if the issue coming from there
    – If it is showing up, start activating one plugin at a time, till the menu will be hidden again, to fund out which plugin is causing it.

    Follow the steps from the flowchart:

    Let us know how it went.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Nastia

    going here yoursite.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

    The theme you are currently using isn’t widget-aware, meaning that it has no sidebars that you are able to change. For information on making your theme widget-aware, please follow these instructions.

    This is the default theme Twenty SeventeenVersion: 2.2

    Hello @johnramos

    Hope all is well!

    Looks like your theme is modified, as Twenty Seventeen 2.2 has sidebar area.

    The active theme on your site has no sidebar. Since there are no sidebars added in the template, the widget section is not available. Please see an explanation here:

    If you’re working with a child theme please see here how to register a sidebar:

    Otherwise, please switch to a different theme that is coded for widgets.

    Have a good day and take care!

    Kind regards,
    Nastia
