Editor is broken

Hi @williamjezequel,

Sorry to hear of the problem you are having.

I have tested it on my test site using latest version of Custom Sidebars plugin but i didn’t face any issue that you are facing.

Make sure you are using the latest version of Custom Sidebars plugin.

Could you please share me the screenshot of the issue that you are facing so that i can troubleshoot it?

For screenshots, you can simply provide a link to an image through Google Drive, Dropbox, screencast.com, http://imgur.com/ or other image service. 🙂

This may be theme/plugin conflict issue that you are using.

You can just try on your development site deactivating all other plugins and using default WordPress theme like Twenty Thirteen as displayed in the following flowchart to know which theme/ plugin is conflicting if any.

Looks like the the HTML just gets cut off right in the middle of the sidebar widget on the editor screen.

<div id="customsidebars-mb" class="postbox " >
<div class="handlediv" title="Click to toggle"></div><h3 class='hndle'><span>Sidebars</span></h3>
<div class="inside">
<!-- EOF -->

I deleted the cs_modifiable and cs_sidebars rows from the wp_options table. No change.

Here’s what WP_DEBUG got me:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'global' (T_GLOBAL) in /home2/unlikem1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/custom-sidebars/views/metabox.php on line 2

Turns out that the newlines in metabox.php were the wrong format. I fixed them and everything seems to work fine now. Thanks for the help!

Hi @dannyfoo,

To resolve this issue could you please try replacing the following Custom Sidebars plugin file code with the code provided here http://pastebin.com/NHL3SCHy ?

custom-sidebars/views/metabox.php

Hi @dannyfoo,

The code shared in the previous reply was from different file, could you please try using the code provided here http://pastebin.com/GXH1jeHJ

If it doesn’t help then can you please try enabling WP_DEBUG mode and debug logging? To do this, just go to wp-config.php include this:

define('WP_DEBUG',true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG',true);

You might already have a line for WP_DEBUG, so just make sure it’s set to true. This will create a log file under wp-content/debug.log with detailed information.

If you’d like to avoid end users seeing error messages, you can include this as well:

@ini_set('display_errors',0);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

This will prevent errors from being displayed, but you can still find them in the log file. For information on this, checkout this wpmu.org article.

Let me know what errors if any you are getting!

Kind Regards,
