 * Hello,
    I am using your nice Custom Sidebars plugin in my local installation 
   with Instant WordPress. When it is active, and visualizing any theme, the wordpress
   header disappear, so it not possible anymore to go to the WP dashboard. As soon
   as Custom Sidebars is unactive, when the page is reloaded the WP header is shown
   correctly. Tried many times, always with the same result. I am using the Custom
   Sidebars version available at wordpress.org, 2.1.1.0 update. My Instant WP local
   installation is running IE 11.9600. Thank you for help

 * Hello [@clack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clack/), I hope all is well!
 * I tested the Custom Sidebars on my site, and can’t replicate the same.
 * Just to make sure, the Admin Bar disappears from the front end, not the site’s
   header? Would you please let me know, can you replicate the same when all the
   other plugins are deactivated?
 * Leave only the Custom Sidebars activated and check the admin bar at the front
   end. Please also switch to a default WordPress theme, Twenty Sixteen for example.
 * Let us know how it went!
 * Cheers,
    Nastia

 * Well, it seems that there is a conflict between Custom Sidebars and WP Native
   Dashboard plugin, at least in my Instant WP local installation.
    It means that
   if I want to use customized sidebars, cannot have the localization of the WP 
   dahboard.

 * Hello [@clack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clack/),
 * The [WP Native Dashboard](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-native-dashboard/)
   hasn’t been updated for more than 3 years.
 * Some users are switching to [R3DF Dashboard Language Switcher](https://wordpress.org/plugins/r3df-dashboard-language-switcher/)
   plugin. I tested this plugin along with CuStom Sidebars and it is working well.
 * Would you please try R3DF plugin and let us know if it will work for you?
 * Cheers,
    Nastia
