    Help!

    I completed all my WordPress updates the other day. Now when I publish a page I can no longer hide / show which widgets to use on my sidebar. The display in the admin area for widgets has completely changed and does not show any options. Please help me!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Temporarily I am going to use CSS to hide the widgets I do not want to display. But I need this plugin to work!

    I came up with a different solution to the problem. I discovered that the Chrome browser, which I have always used, for security reasons greatly reduced the length allowed for code. 2000 characters only for whatever they determine to be a URL. Which when you are using a plugin like this one that goes across many pages …well problems are bound to pop up. I discovered the issue when I noticed other sites – not my own – are having the same issue on the public end of their site and I deduced the problem by testing Edge (Safari) and Firefox. Safari works fine. Along with that I added ta plugin that switches from WordPress’s Gutenberg to Classic. Safari plus a plugin that does that makes your plugin work fine.
    My interim workaround was a whole bunch of CSS. Ugh ugly code wise and impractical for future edits. I am glad to have your plugin back!
