 * Hello. I found some kind of a bug. When I set the condition for the author, the
   sidebar shows on every page. br

 * What are the exact settings and conditions? Do you have an empty condition group?

 * Hm. I created new sidebar, and add the conditions for Pages:Blog and Authors:
   All authors. But the problem is, sidebar is showing on all pages. If I remove
   Authors condition…the sidebar is just on Blog page as supposed to be…

 * Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem.
 * What your current condition says is:
    Display sidebar on Blog page written by
   any author.
 * If you want your sidebar to be displayed on the blog page and on author archives,
   create two condition groups:
 * Group 1: Blog page
    Group 2: All authors
 * Exposure: Archives

 * Hm…if I choose Exposure: Archives…than I see the sidebar only on archive view…
   but not on blog page…

 * The workaround is to create different sidebars for Blog page and for Blog Author
   archive view…but I want to use the same sidebar area…hm

 * If your Blog page is set as the “posts page” in your WordPress settings, you 
   can use these settings for 1 sidebar instead:
 * Group 1: All authors
    Group 2: All posts Exposure: Archives
 * This will cause the sidebar to be displayed on all author archives or the posts
   archive (selected posts page).

 * hm…blog page is a regular page in this case…

 * Then unfortunately you have to create two different sidebars for now, due to 
   the content being archives and a singular. It is on the roadmap to do something
   about “Exposure” as it can be confusing.
