# Can’t Delete Sidebars

 * I inherited a site that is using your plugin. The former site manager set up 
   a sidebar for nearly every page on the website, which is an admin nightmare. 
   I am trying to streamline the site and remove some of the sidebars. When I try
   to delete the sidebar it just spins and nothing happens. I turned off all of 
   the plugins on the site (I am working on a development site) and switched the
   theme out to 2016. I tried it on Firefox and Chrome on my Mac. I am using the
   latest version of your plugin and wordpress. Thank you for your help.

 * Hello [@creativemediaalliance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/creativemediaalliance/),
   I hope you are doing well!
 * I can’t replicate the same on my site. The sidebars are deleted from Appearance
   > Widgets with no issue.
 * Would you please enable WordPress debugging by putting the following to the wp-
   config.php file:
 *     ```
       define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
       ```
   
 * Make sure that you insert this line BEFORE /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy
   blogging. */ in the wp-config.php file.
 * Try to delete a sidebar again. This way all errors will be saved in the debug.
   log file inside the /wp-content/ directory.
 * Let us know if you’ll find any related warnings/errors in the debug.log
 * Kind regards,
    Nastia
