    1) I have several categories on my site and prior to purchasing flexform I used the custom sidebar plugin to create custom sidebars for each category. Now that I’m using flexform, it overrides the custom sidebar plugin and I cannot specify sidebars for the different categories. I’ve tried using the settings int the Archive/Category Options tab under theme options, but it’s not working. Can you help me figure this out?

    2) Also, is there a way to make image the default selection for post thumbnails? I have a ton of posts on my site and I’m having to go in manually and make this change even though I have a featured image set.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi there,

    1) Hmm. I’m not sure of a workaround for this, other than editing the category/archive template, and removing the set sidebar variables. Are you comfortable editing php?

    2) Sure. What you want to do is edit /includes/sf-content-display/sf-post-formats.php and above line 373:

    if ($thumb_type != "none") {

    add:

    if ($thumb_type == "") {
    $thumb_type = "image";
    }

    Check archive.php and category.php and replace the instances of:

    <?php dynamic_sidebar($left_sidebar); ?>
    <?php dynamic_sidebar($right_sidebar); ?>
    

    With:

    <?php dynamic_sidebar(); ?>
