Dynamic Widgets with Custom Sidebars
-
Hello,
I am using the plugin “Custom sidebars” and “Dynamic Widgets”. I have one problem when they are used together. I would not want to give up the use of any of them. I am writing here because this problem occurs when I activate “Dynamic Widgets”.
“Custom sidebars” is a plugin, that allows add sidebars from the admin area. And it works well together with the “Dynamic Widgets”, until I created a sidebar titled “Sidebar 1”. I will describe the situation in more detail.
In the theme has already been added sidebar “My Sidebar”. WordPress assigned ID “sidebar-1” for that sidebar.
Next, I create a new sidebar with plugin “Custom sidebars” named “Sidebar 1”. In the table “wp_options” option “sidebars_widgets” sidebar “Sidebar 1” has ID “cs-2”.But as soon as I create “Sidebar 1” (ID “cs-2”) all widgets disappear from the “My Sidebar” (ID “sidebar-1”). Ie “My Sidebar” is empty on the tab “Appearance->Widgets”. At the same time, widgets displayed in “My Sidebar” on the tab “Appearance->Dynamic Widgets” and displayed on the site as if the sidebar is not empty.
If I add widgets to “Sidebar 1” (ID “cs-2”), then the same widgets displayed in “My Sidebar”(ID “sidebar-1”).
It occurs only with names similar to ID which assigns wordpress sidebars by default. This problem does not happen, even if I call sidebars same name.
At first glance it seems that this is a problem “Custom sidebars”, but it works well when the “Dynamic Widgets” is deactivated. Sorry if I’m wrong. I hope for your help.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.

Sounds like an incompatibility between these two plugins. Quite understandable in my opinion. Both are working with widgets in the end. The problem here is I think that ‘suddenly’ sidebars are being added. DW does not expect that.
You can try the OLD method in DW, but I don’t think it will help to be honest.
