Thanks for sharing your theme name. The plugin is not compatible with the Sahifa theme. The plugin works only with themes where the Genesis framework is the parent theme.

You can deactivate Genesis Simple Edits to remove the compatibility message if you’d like to continue using Sahifa.

@researcher2016 Thanks for your report. I just tested the plugin with WordPress 4.8 and all fields at Genesis → Simple Edits are still working for me.

Please feel free to share more information, such as steps to reproduce the issue with all other plugins disabled, and the name of your current active theme. I’d be happy to take another look.

If you can network deactivate the plugin and only activate it on the Genesis sites individually, that would be a good approach (it will prevent the plugin logic from running at all if Genesis isn’t active).

Otherwise, you could try creating a new plugin folder named ‘genesis-remove-sidebar-nag’ containing a single file named ‘plugin.php’ with the content below. Network-activating that plugin should remove the notification on all sites.

<?php
/**

 */

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'genesis_simple_sidebars_remove_nag', 11 );
/**
 * Remove the notice that Genesis Simple Sidebars displays if Genesis is not active.
 *
 * @return void
 */
function genesis_simple_sidebars_remove_nag() {
	if ( ! function_exists( 'Genesis_Simple_Sidebars' ) ) {
		return;
	}
	remove_action( 'admin_notices', array( Genesis_Simple_Sidebars(), 'requirements_notice' ) );
}

Hi, @talkcity! It looks like you’ve posted in this topic for support questions related to the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin. If you need help aligning your ad in a non-Genesis theme that does not use Simple Hooks, you could try posting in the “Everything Else” forum:
