* Thanks for the beautiful plugin!
* Only problem I have: if I use
[private role=”contributor”]text[/private] in
my page’s text, it also doesn’t show the sidebar anymore for non logged in users.
Ran it as a sole plugin, Zerif-lite theme, still the same.
* Any thoughts?
* Cheers
Frank

* Hi [@frank-in-oz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frank-in-oz/)
Just tested
your theme with my plugin. All works as expected and the sidebar is visible to
non-logged-in users.
* There should be an issue elsewhere, because this plugin is very simple in what
it does.
* Please, keep me informed about every news.

* Hi [@aldolat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aldolat/),
* thx for responding quickly.
* I think I found the reason, having no experience with html at all and being a
newbie to wordpress I don’t know what it means. But I can make it work now.
* I reproduced the non working page line by line to check when the problem turns
up. When it appeared I switched into the text editor.
* There were a lot of and
things going on. The `[/private]` obviously
likes to live behind the in order to make it work.
* I had a brief read what they do and sussed these were copied in there when
our editor took text from the old site by copy and paste. They are obviously
messing it up. I’ll tell her to use plain text copies in future.
* Strange though – and good to know – that it is possible to place a shortcode
at the wrong place in the visual editor, and one can even confuse the lot by
deleting a character in the visual editor.
* I’ll better use the text-editor for placing shortcodes and cleaning up texts
in future.
* Thanks a lot again
Cheers Frank
