Broken after 5.5.3 – Updated
Update: Wrote to the developer, he answered quickly. The issue we are seeing appears not to be with Simple Page Sidebars but rather with WordPress 5.6 Core instead. See the ticket where others are having the same issue. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/52073 Absolutely awesome plugin up to 5.5.3. Unfortunately, it no longer works with the latest version of WordPress as of this review (5.6) on 1/8/2021. Hopefully, the developer(s) will have time to upgrade the plugin. In the meantime, those who want to continue to use the plugin will need to downgrade their website to an earlier version. You can use a free plugin called WP Downgrade to do this but it’s a bandaid.
Great plugin but…..
I can’t find a way to ask a question so I will ask it here. Simple sidebars is awesome…until yesterday when it stopped working for me. Running Wordpress 4.8. Added a new webpage, entered a new sidebar name and hit update. Added text to the new sidebar and updated. Here’s the rub. When I try to edit the text for this particular sidebar, it returns me to the Widget Text page. I’m caught in an endless loop. This now occurs with all the sidebars that I have created. I’m stumped…can anyone help? Sorry to put this in the reviews but I found no way to post in the support form.
Just an update for anyone using this
Just wanted to say, that even though the developer is super busy and may not have updated the plugin version specifically for latest WP version, it still works flawlessly. This is a great example of simple coding done right. Nothing that isn’t needed, it just simply works. 🙂
Excellent and Very Helpful
Excellent and very helpful plugin when you need to quickly create and manage additional sidebars for your pages. Thank you!
