 * Strange but true: when your plugin is activated, the sidebar where you would 
   normally put widgets into their respective sidebars disappears. I’ve deactivated
   every plugin one at a time and only yours is causing the issue.

 * Hi Tom,
 * Can you actually access the Google Analyticator settings page, or is it throwing
   an error?

 * Yes, deactivating de Google Analyticator was the solution I found yesterday after
   hours searching. You can find long threads of people having their sidebars in
   admin dashboard lost. I found the solution here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-sidebar-in-admin-but-not-on-web](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-sidebar-in-admin-but-not-on-web)

 * Yes, to answer the question, I can get to the settings page when the plugin is
   activated.
 * But the plugin is currently deactivated because I can’t get to my Widgets with
   it on.

 * This is still causing issues for some of my clients. The sidebar where you would
   normally put widgets into their respective sidebars disappears. When GA is deactivated,
   they re-appear.
 * Resetting GA does seem to solve the issue– but at least in one case, only temporarily.
   The problem recurred.
 * I know that there is a separate issue, (which has it’s own posts in the forum),
   but maybe this issue is connected to the errors that keep causing the dashboard
   widget to throw errors? I keep having to reset to “fix” those, but on some sites,
   the errors are there the next time I go to the site. Is it related?

 * I’m having this same recurring issue on many of my sites.

 * This issue just happened to me. So the problem is still active. Using the latest
   version of Analyticator on 3.6

 * Hi
 * I can confirm the same problem on WP 3.6.1 and Analyticator 6.4.5
 * The Appearance > Widgets page stops loading Available Widgets at the Google Analytics
   Stat widget.
 * Resetting the Analyticator Plugin and Re-authenticating it seems to have fixed
   it for now.
