Sidebar Widget not appear after updates 4.4

[Enzolha]

Hello,

upgraded to new version of wordpress and the sidebars are gone. I searched your forum for answers but only thing i can find is (update to newest version of dante) which i already was and problem still exists.

Waiting for your help,

Thank you

Hi Antoine,

This is caused by your child theme. Your child theme contains theme files that are overriding the update parent theme files.

The child theme files will need to be updated, please refer to the updated parent theme files and merge the changes.

Thanks.

Hi David,

Many thanks for your help.

I try to update the Child theme… Doesn’t work.

I don’t understand how merge the changes ?

You need to locate the parent theme files you are overriding in your child theme, ex: single.php, then copy the contents of the file over to the child theme from the update parent theme file.

Thanks.

It seems I’m having the same problem and I don’t have a child theme. I have double checked in the post meta that I have a right sidebar, sidebar one. And in the widgets area, sidebar one is populated with three widgets. But the page shows no sidebar.

Also, when entering into customize mode, the right sidebar is not showing at all.

Thanks

Hi,
Please open to edit single.php and page.php file :-

1- Find this code:-

$default_left_sidebar = $options['default_left_sidebar'];
$default_right_sidebar = $options['default_right_sidebar'];

Change with:-

$default_left_sidebar = strtolower($options['default_left_sidebar']);
$default_right_sidebar = strtolower($options['default_right_sidebar']);

—————————————————————–

2- Find this code:-

$left_sidebar = sf_get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sf_left_sidebar', true);
$right_sidebar = sf_get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sf_right_sidebar', true);

Change with:-

$left_sidebar  = strtolower(sf_get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sf_left_sidebar', true));
$right_sidebar = strtolower(sf_get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sf_right_sidebar', true));

Thanks
