 * OK so I’m using a fantastic genesis child theme that has been great thus far,
   and includes your plugin as one of their recommended ones. The theme is SEO themes“
   Business Pro.” There is a very good chance I’ve done something to break it but
   for the life of me I cannot figure it out and I’m about to give up and do this
   manually.. but your plugin is cool so I thought I’d reach out first!
 * For some reason, when I use the column classes from the drop down (e.g. one-third
   + first) it does **literally nothing** but when I type in the class “one-third
   first” it works. It should definitely be supported by this theme, as they actually
   refer to your plugin in their setup documentation [here](https://seothemes.com/documentation/business-pro/widget-areas/#front-page-2-widget-area).
 * Do you think it might be a plugin conflict? I work with genesis themes a lot 
   so it would be useful to know if that is the case. There are a lot installed 
   on this site at the moment and I don’t really want to deactivate and reactivate
   one by one to test it unless ABSOLUTELY necessary…
 * The site is not live yet, but you can preview it happening here:
    devhouse.com.
   au/secret-squirrel It’s the three text widgets directly under the annoying repeating
   video.

 * Hi [@jominney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jominney/)
 * It looks like there is a conflict with the sidebar attributes.
    Though I’m not
   100% sure since I’m not familiar with that theme.
 * This plugin used the `before_widget` and `after_widget` content to add the sidebars,
   if these are empty it won’t work.
    See: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar)
   It’s the same logic used in Widget CSS Classes.
 * Please check if this is setup correctly.
 * Thanks! Jory

 * Hi [@jominney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jominney/)
 * I see you’ve managed to get it working so I’ll close this issue.
    What was the
   problem?
 * Thanks, Jory
