nice plugin
by samicai·1 year ago
WooSidebars is the perfect solution for placing widgets on specific pages. It’s easy to use, integrates well with WordPress, and does exactly what I needed. Highly recommended! WooSidebars is doing its job but not updting for a long time!

Han dejado de actualizar y ha roto mi web
by emiliprades·4 years ago
Hace casi dos años que no lo actualizan y con la última versión de WordPress 5.8 ha roto mi web.
Los artículos han empezado a perder el formato, tamaño de texto, colores, bordes, celdas, etc… y me he vuelto loco durante dos semanas hasta encontrar el problema.
Además, si accedo al menú de widgets de worpress empiezan a saltar lineas de error, una por cada widget que tengo en cada barra lateral con este plugin. Y antes de que me de tiempo ha hacer nada, página en blanco con error 404 y la web inservible durante un buen rato.
Solución a todos los problemas, desactivar todas las opciones de este plugin, desactivar el plugin y borrarlo y limpiar la base de datos del CPanel.
Conclusión: Instalar plugins gratuitos es un error, tarde o temprano los abandonan.
PHP 8.0 Error
by itguysconsulting·4 years ago·1 reply
There is a problem with line 170 in class-woo-sidebars.php which can be fixed by changing the %a to a %s.
From this:
'search_items' => sprintf( __( 'Search %a', 'woosidebars' ), $plural ),
To this:
'search_items' => sprintf( __( 'Search %s', 'woosidebars' ), $plural ),
Helps a lot with Oxygen Builder
by igvsupport·4 years ago
If you have trouble with widgets showing or being compatible in Oxygen Builder, this plugin can do wonders. Especially true regarding WooCommerce plugins and how they utilize Widgets a lot. Needs to be regularly updated though.
