I activate it. Add content to it and set it to display on a page. The sidebar is not existent.

That’s why I placed a note here to let you guys know. * It’s NOT working with WP 4.2.1 and Genesis 2.0. Not for me anyways. So I could not use it.

NOT running multi-site. * I use a child-theme. * Genesis Simple Sidebars DOES INSTALL. * Genesis Simple Sidebars DOES NOT ACTIVATE. * It gives a white page with an error message warning I need to use WP 3.6. * Did ANYONE check the number of people complaining about this issue BEFORE ASSUMING we – the users who BOUGHT GENESIS AND MANY CHILD-THEMES OVER THE YEARS – are the ones who DON’T GET IT??? * GENESIS SIMPLE SIDEBARS IS OUTDATED OF FAULTY. Maybe it’s still working with default child-themes, I don’t know. It sure ain’t working with the PREMIUM child- themes I’m using. * Thank you for YOUR ATTENTION. Please, this is getting ridiculous and rather insulting. I hope someone will attend to this STUDIOPRESS problem. I have clients waiting. * Regards, * Andre * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-wordpress-support/#post-5547661) * > Did ANYONE check the number of people complaining about this issue BEFORE ASSUMING > we – the users who BOUGHT GENESIS AND MANY CHILD-THEMES OVER THE YEARS – are > the ones who DON’T GET IT??? * Andre? Calmly please. No one is trying to wind you up and there’s really nothing here that is insulting. * Can you provide a link to your site? Seeing your site that has the problem may help others sort out your issue or at least eliminate some of the guesswork. * > Genesis Simple Sidebars DOES INSTALL. > Genesis Simple Sidebars DOES NOT ACTIVATE. * Do you get any error messages when it doesn’t install/activate? If you are what are the messages? * [styzer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/styzer/) * (@styzer) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-wordpress-support/#post-5547662) * Hi Jan, it’s just frustrating, it’s as if we have to explain the same thing many times, in detail. No offence. * If you followed the conversation, I already explained twice what happened: * > Thanks Andrea, > I installed Genesis Simple Sidebars, and when I “activated” > it, I got a white page with a message that I needed WP 3.6 and higher and a > version of Genesis that I already have installed.

NOT running multi-site. > I use a child-theme. > Genesis Simple Sidebars DOES INSTALL. > Genesis Simple Sidebars DOES NOT ACTIVATE. > It gives a white page with an error message warning I need to use WP 3.6. * So, I don’t know how else to explain, since it does not install, I can’t give you a URL. * Please explain to me: why not ask Nathan to update it? * Regards, * Andre * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-wordpress-support/#post-5547663) * > Please explain to me: why not ask Nathan to update it? * Update it how? There’s not really enough information provided by you to tell what the problem is and where. * > I got a white page with a message that I needed WP 3.6 and higher and a version > of Genesis that I already have installed. * White pages are usually a 500 server error, meaning PHP had a problem and aborted. That problem will get logged in your server’s error_log file and it would be valuable to know what that error message is. * I get that you can’t provide a URL but you can work with us to isolate the cause of your problem? This may get tedious for you but it also may provide a clue what is the problem you are having. * Try these basic steps. 1. Confirm that you’re running WordPress 4.2.2. 2. Disable all of your plugins, no exceptions. 3. Switch to another Genesis Child theme different than the one you are currently using. I don’t have Genesis but if it comes with a stock child theme then please try that. 4. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies. 5. Log into your WordPress dashboard. 6. Activate the “Genesis Simple Sidebars”. * If that still white screens then you’ll need to enable logging or obtain access to the server’s error_log file. Please let us all know how those steps work out. * The reason I am walking you through these basic steps is because one of the above forum members mentions this. * > So, I deleted the plugin and retrieved it again from WordPress.org and it’s > working fine. What error are you getting? * Since that post 4 months ago no one else has provide what the error they’re getting is. Again, that could be really useful to sorting out your problem. * [styzer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/styzer/) * (@styzer) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-wordpress-support/#post-5547664) * Hi Jan, * Let me get back to you tomorrow, OK? It’s quite late here, and I’ll have to do a number of operations to get you this info. But right now, using Executive Pro and Generate Pro, no sidebars are showing. I will send you info about that error I get with the other themes. * Thanks for looking into this, and I apologize for being stressed and upset, and showing it… * Regards, * Andre Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-wordpress-support/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-wordpress-support/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Latest WordPress support’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/genesis-simple-sidebars/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1335778) * [Genesis Simple Sidebars](https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/genesis-simple-sidebars/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/genesis-simple-sidebars/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/genesis-simple-sidebars/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/genesis-simple-sidebars/reviews/) * 16 replies * 7 participants * Last reply from: [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * Last activity: [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-wordpress-support/page/2/#post-5547665) * Status: not resolved
