 * Hello,
 * I’m having trouble locating some custom sidebars. I’ve checked the functions.
   php file where the register_sidebar() should be located. The theme seems to be
   directing it to another file, in which I was able to locate two default sidebars.
   However, there seems to be a user generated sidebar section in the code that 
   is populating the additional sidebars on the widget page that I cannot seem to
   locate. Please see code below
 *     ```
       //Default Sidebars
         register_sidebar(array(
           'name'=>'Bottom Widgets (not footer)' . $myhelper->wpml_current_language,
           'id'=>"bottom-widgetbar" . $myhelper->wpml_current_language,
           'before_widget'=>'<section class="' . $myhelper->get_class_by_column_count(0, 
           'ic_sking_bottom_widget_bar_column_count') . ' sidebar-widget">',
           'after_widget'=>'</section>',
           'before_title'=>'<div class="h6-wrapper"><h6>',
           'after_title'=>'</h6></div>'
         ));
   
       //Default Sidebars
         register_sidebar(array(
           'name'=>'Footer (Copyright etc...)' . $myhelper->wpml_current_language,
           'id'=>"footer-sidebar" . $myhelper->wpml_current_language,
           'before_widget'=>'<section class="span6 sidebar-widget footer-sidebar">',
           'after_widget'=>'</section>',
           'before_title'=>'<h6>',
           'after_title'=>'</h6>'
         ));
   
       //we need to define this class to arrange footer bar
         $myhelper->set_footer_style( "#bottom-widget-wrapper section:nth-child(" . ot_get_option("ic_sking_bottom_widget_bar_column_count") . "n+1) { clear:both; }" );
   
       //Load user generated sidebars
   
       $args = array( 'post_type' => 'ozy_sidebars', 'posts_per_page' => 200);
         $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
         while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
           $post = get_post( get_the_ID() );
           register_sidebar(array(
             'name'=> get_the_title() . $myhelper->wpml_current_language,
             'id'=> 'dynamicsidebar' . $post->post_name . $myhelper->wpml_current_language,
             'before_widget'=>'<section class="sidebar-widget">',
             'after_widget'=>'</section>',
             'before_title'=>'<h6>',
             'after_title'=>'</h6>'
           ));
         endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();
       ```
   
 * The “load user generated sidebars” section is populating additional sidebars 
   within the WP dashboard widget page, but I’m not sure where they are.
 * If anyone has any idea how to troubleshoot this, I’d greatly appreciate the help!
 * Thank you!

 * Try going to `your-url.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=ozy_sidebars` since those
   sidebards are a custom post type (most likely initialized by the theme itself).
 * See if that opens up any Admin Page where you can create sidebar locations so
   you’ll know where to look the next time around.
