This plugin was installed with the theme my client is using, and it caused the sites menus to become unresponsive. Disabling it solve my issues.

Why do these plugins, that everyone finds so easy to use, never work for me Try as a might, following the out of date video, and then the documentation, this plugin simply doesn’t work. I created the sidebars, set up the Sidebar Replacements and it does nothing. Such a shame, it looked like it was going to be a cool little plugin too

Kudos to the plugin author. Mimics core perfectly and does exactly what I need it to do. Plus – no intrusive ads.

I’ve used this plugin for many years now and have always been very satisfied with the functionality as well as the support. Very reliable solution when you need to have a more complex, dynamic sidebar setup on your WordPress website.
