New sidebar not working

I’ve tried to create a new sidebar several times through different methods, but not luck. I enter the name for the new sidebar “Course Sidebar” click “Create” it refreshes but there is no new sidebar.

Hi, checked the system status, all green.

As for the name, as per above “Course Sidebar” even tried “Course”.

I tried a few more times and this time it seemed to stick. But it does not show up anywhere for me to add widgets to it??

Furthermore, if I go to the page that should have the new sidebar “Course Sidebar” it shows nothing in Customization mode, whereas it shows the default sidebar on the other pages. So, in other words, even though the dropdown shows it, it’s not really there.

Any ideas?

so it looks like even if I have the same settings for WP Super Cache as you guys show in the article, there is something that must cache something in regards to the side bar, because today it popped up under widgets.

Not sure if it’s caching or not. The “Course Sidebar” shows in widgets, I added widgets to it, but they still don’t show on the front end, I cleared the cache several times. Anyone else having problems with sidebars?

Turned caching off all together, still nothing.

I am having same problem, the sidebar does not work, I tried following the instruction in the video, instead of affecting only one block as in the video, it alters the whole page, inserting sidebar from top to bottom.

ok, this seems to be an issue with all widgets now, not sure if it’s the theme, wordpress update or something else. But no widgets are sticking.
