Duplicate Fixed Widget-Alternate Side

    On one of my pillar posts, the fixed widget contents contained in the sidebar are appearing on both sides of the page. This obscures about one third of the content on the entire left hand side of the page.

    The plug in was working fine until recently.

    This happens on occasion at the bottom of a few pages, as well, but is not as problematic. I have the latest WP install on a Divi child theme.

    This started happening over a month ago…and I was hopeful an update might take care of it.

    Any guidance you can offer is much appreciated.

    Hello!
    Something weird I see on your site!
    First, the fixed sidebar on the left is fixed not by the plugin, but by your theme:

    #myprefix-widget-area-wrap {
    z-index: 1000;
    display: block!important;
    float: left;
    position: fixed; /* That's it! */
    background-color: #fff;
    margin-top: 2px;
}

    Then I see you have two text widgets with the same content and they are fixed by the plugin.
    One widget located on the right in regular sidebar, and anotheone located in this strange #myprefix-widget-area-wrap block. I don’t understand its purpose…
    You can completele disable left side injection by adding this style:
    #myprefix-widget-area-wrap { display: none; }
    Page will look much better, but I recommend to remove #myprefix-widget-area-wrap block completely on theme level.

    Also the plugin is not configured optimaly. Uncheck these options:
    1. Disable MutationObserver
    2. Inherit widget width from the parent container

    I eliminated the code you suggested,(with much trepidation, as I wasn’t sure about how to do it) and it worked like a charm!

    Thank you so much!
