It should not be because you have updated your WordPress installation, as the plugin is tested to work with the most recent version.
Can you still see the sidebars on the administration screens for Sidebars and also Widgets?
Yes everything is still there
Can you explain in more detail what your problem is? And did you recently update/install new plugins?
No new plugins.
An example, I have a sidebar created in the plugin and filled with widgets.
This sidebar is set to one specific page.
It does not show up, not under replace, merge, force replace. Not at all.
Thanks
What happens if you select another sidebar to replace/merge with? E.g. if your theme has several sidebar areas, try selecting another area.
I have the same problem.
Is there any way to check which of the selectable sidebars to merge with is the one currently displaying on a page? So I can choose the correct one to merge with.
Or a way to tell in the code which page is set to which sidebar by default?
If you open up sidebar.php in your theme folder, you can see the id of the sidebar being displayed. Note that a sidebar might be called in other files as well.
A more user friendly way is to install the plugin Debug Bar and then the extension Debug Bar – Sidebars & Widgets (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/debug-bar-sidebars-widgets/)
This lets you know what sidebar is being displayed on the current page, and if it has been replaced/merged with by a content aware sidebar.
