Hello

I’d be grateful for some assistance please.

The site lost all it’s sidebar widgets after a theme uodate to the latest version, so I’m in the process of trying to restore them.

I’m using a plugin called WPJobBoard that uses a custom post type named ‘Job’, I can’t get single job listings to show a sidebar despite all the settings looking correct. There are no sidebar settings in the plugin.

The sidebar was showing ok on single job posts before the update.

I’ve included some URL’s and screen captures below.

Any help would be gratefully received thank you.

Example single job listing

Theme CPT setting for 'Job' type

Widget settings

'Sidebar Debug' screen capture

Hi,

In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/

Thank you!

Hello Anamaria

Thank you for your reply to my post. I didn’t have a theme panel backup to restore unfortunately as all backups were dated today, which was after the issue happened.

If it’s of any use to someone looking at the post, it seems the issue I had not being able to a sidebar to a single post from a CPT was due to an active child theme. I switched to the main parent newspaper theme and the issue was resolved.

Regards, Ash
