 * Hi there,
 * First thing, thanks a ton for this awesome plugin. Been using for long time with
   no problem. Today however, I got into a fix when I added a new sidebar and went
   to open widget page. It threw me 404 error.
 * Upon disabling custom menu plugin I can see widget page. On activation I am having
   404 on widget.php page and also no menu menus showing up even if plugin is activated.
 * Please let me know if this is a problem with plugin or theme that is getting 
   in conflict. I am using newspaper 6.6.3 theme. For example look at this page 
   where widget is expected on the right side between two ads: [http://pakaccountants.com/courses/financialaccounting/accounting-in-business/](http://pakaccountants.com/courses/financialaccounting/accounting-in-business/)
 * I tried disabling other plugins too but its not helping. Only after disabling
   custom menu widget plugin I can access widget.php page.
 * Looking forward to brisk response.
 * Hasaan

 * Hmm…
    Is there anything in your site’s error_log that might give any indication
   as to a possible problem? If you (temporarily) enable WP_DEBUG and try accessing
   the widgets page, do you get any errors then? If you (temporarily) switch to 
   a WordPress theme – such as TwentySixteen or TwentyFifteen – do you still have
   the problem?
 * Newspaper is a commercial theme, so I can’t just install it and test CMW against
   things like their Smart Sidebar functionality (which I assume was involved in
   creating your “new sidebar”).

 * Hey there,
 * Thank you for quick reply. Really appreciate that.
 * I somehow managed to get the plugin working. I simply deleted the inactive widgets
   and sidebar and that seems to do the trick. Don’t know why but this has fixed
   the problem.
 * Regards,
