 * Hi, really appreciate your plugin.
 * We were using your plugin for a multisite network. Glad to use it with all the
   users on our network!
 * When we duplicate one of our sites, we needed the same settings to migrate over
   with the plugin. But it was having trouble keeping the same settings on duplication.
 * On export it puts the file out fine, but on import it does not recognize the 
   file?
 * Maybe you know a workaround?
 * Thanks for your help 🙂

 * The import works only for the settings options, there are existent. have you 
   the same options fields in each area, so that you can import this?
 * But, if you have in all Sites of the network the same areas, items etc. than 
   you should active the plugin for the whole network – network wide. Now the plugin
   store the settings in the multisite settings options table and get this in each
   site settings.

 * Thanks for the reply Frank!
 * In the Widgets section the settings were copied from multisite to multisite. 
   But not in the Menu Options.
 * Your plugin is network activated.
 * Curious why it didn’t move the menu options over too?
 * Thanks again

 * Hello again Frank. Really love your plugin.
 * Could you guide me how to hide the “Inactive Sidebar” and “Inactive Widgets” 
   in the Widgets?

 * We were trying to use your “Your own widgets options” area by adding the class
   or id to hide those areas, but it was not successful.

 * Maybe there is a specific way to do it?

 * Hi Luke.
    This is only possible via Custom Options. You must find a seelctor 
   of this area, like the inactive sidebar via devtools in Chrom F12 and add this
   as custom option to the widget options. A how to is here – [https://github.com/bueltge/Adminimize/wiki](https://github.com/bueltge/Adminimize/wiki)
