# Sidebar selection

 * I’ve used this plugin in combination with the Genesis Simple Sidebar for a long
   time now with great joy. But something has changed -> I can’t select a sidebar
   anymore when creating a new portfolio item in the admin area. The ‘admin box’
   controlling this feature has disappeared …
 * Can someone please help me with fixing this issue? I really need custom sidebars
   per portfolio item. Thanks!
 * P.s. The old items still use the custom sidebar (created with genesis simple 
   sidebars). For an example, please visit this part of my music portfolio -> [https://music.idlaunch.org/portfolio-type/suspense-dark/](https://music.idlaunch.org/portfolio-type/suspense-dark/)

 * Never mind, found the solution 🙂
    Just had to add ‘genesis-simple-sidebars’ 
   to the post-types-and-taxonomies.php file.
 * More detail to add this feature:
    1. open file ‘post-types-and-taxonomies.php’
   in the lib folder 2. search for ‘supports’ => array( 3. add the to array ‘genesis-
   simple-sidebars’ 4. save and replace 5. sidebars can be selected when creating
   a new portfolio item
