 * Hi, I changed my theme and now I have this problem.
    When I click on “Sidebar
   Location” in “Widget” I see these options here: [Image](https://i.ibb.co/GQqmX6T/Schermata-2019-10-19-alle-18-31-22.png)
 * Instead days ago I displayed the categories to select to displayed the sidebar
   with the requested widgets.
 * How can I solve the problem?
    Thank’s for your job

 * Hello [@marcorroma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcorroma/)
 * I’m not sure I understand this correctly, but if you select the sidebar that 
   you want to replace (Footer 3) then you should be able to get a text input with
   all possible options. Please check my screencast below:

 * Please do let me know if I miss something else here! 🙂

 * Hello [@marcorroma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcorroma/) ,
 * According to your screenshot, your sidebar name is Footer 3. If you want to use
   a different sidebar, you need to select in that sidebar that you want it to be
   replaced:
 * After that, you will see that this new sidebar is available in the Sidebar Locations.
 * kind regards,
    Kasia
