 * That can happen if you switch themes or activate another plugin that changes 
   the sidebars. Either of those will reset the sidebars and associations created
   by Custom Sidebars 🙁
 * Otherwise I don’t have any ideas without any more information.

 * Nothing changed from the website. No new themes or theme switches. Updated our
   theme but that’s it.

 * Maybe theme update changed sidebar IDs 🙁
   There is nothing we can do … you will
   have to re-add the widgets, sorry.
