 * Hi, there! I have a custom sidebar full of images, yet it won’t show up anymore
   and shows the generic sidebar instead. I can see my custom sidebar only when 
   I’m logged into WordPress. I’ve done all of the caching stuff, so it shouldn’t
   be that. Any ideas?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsidebar-wont-work%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * When you say you’ve done all of the caching stuff, are you referring to your 
   browser’s local cache, or the cache on the server side? It looks like you have
   some sort of caching plugin that you might be using? If so, try either deactivating
   it, or flushing the cache (there should be an option somewhere in the plugin’s
   settings).

 * Thank you for your response, CrouchingBruin!! I’m using WP Fastest Cache. I’ve
   deleted it, tried other plugins, flushed it, and deactivated it to no avail. 
   What’s weird is that it randomly showed up yesterday and I hadn’t even touched
   the site. I’m so confused 🙁

 * I’m seeing the images, now. How did you fix it?

 * I honestly have no idea! Hours of tweaking the cache and it suddenly started 
   working again. It must have been the cache, but it makes me nervous not knowing
   what caused or fixed it in case it happens again.
