 * Hi there Wpmedev!
 * Hope you having a good day so far!
 * Okay, I just installed the plugin … watch the video (great video by the way) 
   and followed the instructions and the sidebar is still not working:
 * The default sidebar is still showing: [http://www.lunchback.com/shop/](http://www.lunchback.com/shop/)
 * Here are some screenshot of what I did:
 * 1. I added a sidebar: [http://www.lunchback.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Custom-Sidebar-Added.jpg](http://www.lunchback.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Custom-Sidebar-Added.jpg)
 * 2. I added it to the page I want: [http://www.lunchback.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Custom-Sidebar-Added-to-Page.jpg](http://www.lunchback.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Custom-Sidebar-Added-to-Page.jpg)
 * What step am I missing?
 * Thank you so much,
    Christine 🙂

 * Christine, this is what fixed it for me.
 * 1. Disable Custom Sidebars plugin
    2. install and activate Simple Page Sidebars
   plugin 3. Go to Settings -> Reading and pick the default sidebar. 4. Go to a 
   page, create a new sidebar (you may be able to skip this step) 5. Disable Simple
   Page Sidebars 6. Enable Custom Sidebars
