 * I have been a great admirer of Customs Sidebar and have installed the plugin 
   on 4 websites that are running since past 3 years. Till very recently, the plugin
   was working great; however, offlate (with latest update) it has created huge 
   problem in all my website. Surprisingly, the problems aren’t consistent; however,
   when I disable the plugin, all works well. Problems that I have experienced are
   either:
 * (1) It breaks the website or
    (2) It slows down the website or (3) It makes the
   website unavailable almost 90 percent of times (500 Internal Server Error)
 * The problem has worsened with WordPress 4.7. Are Plugin Developers aware of the
   issue? Is there any fix? I am on GoDaddy Windows Hosting using themes such as
   Perth and Vantage. Presently, I have deactivated (not deleted) Custom Sidebars.
   I am really hoping to start using the plugin again (rather than delete).

 * Hi [@amimshah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amimshah/),
 * Sorry to hear you have troubles with the plugin lately 🙁
 * There weren’t similar reports like this one and I was unable to replicate such
   behaviour on my installation.
 * Can you enable debug log in your wp-config.php by replacing **define(‘WP_DEBUG’,
   false);** with this code:
 *     ```
       // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
       define('WP_DEBUG', true);
   
       // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
       define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
   
       // Disable display of errors and warnings
       define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
       @ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
       ```
   
 * Activate CustomSidebars and replicate the steps that brake or cause 500 error,
   this should create debug.log file in your wp-content folder that could tell us
   what is going on.
 * Cheers,
    Predrag

 * Thank you for using Custom Sidebars. I am going to mark this topic resolved because
   we haven’t heard from you in a while. If this issue was not resolved we can reopen
   it. Thanks again!
