I have Newspaper 7, I have created a bunch of sidebars in the Theme Panels Categories area. They show up fine under widgets, and were working and then all of the sudden they started disappearing when I would place new ones and come back into widgets in the dashboard.
So basically now, the sidebars all exist.
I can add new widgets, but they do not stick. Once I leave widgets in the dashboard and come back they are gone.
I have checked all of my System Settings after reading https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
I am well above these settings.
NOTE that in the options table in MySQL the widgets seem to exist in the array.
Also, I have tested the site with all plugins off with the same result.
Any ideas, what do try next?
Hello jmeskunas,
I suspect this issue is coming from your system status. Most likely, you PHP memory is exhausted, and that’s why you cannot upload files. Please check deeper your system status and you should increase the parameters from there according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ If the problem is there after this changes, please provide useful screenshots with your widgets from your backend so I can identify them.
Thanks for your understanding!
System status was one of the first things I checked from that same link you provided.
Its interesting to note, that if I stay on the widgets page. The Widgets all remain and show up where they belong. Once I leave the Widgets page, a few minutes later most but not all of the widgets disappear, on the pages they belong and when you go back to the widgets page they are also gone. They do exist in the Options table array though in the database.
The Array’s in the Options table for sidebars_widgets and widget_text look OK from what I can tell, but since I don’t know what some of the array items are I cannot tell for sure.
Is it possible some tables in database are corrupted? What can I do to troubleshoot further?
Hello jmeskunas,
Unfortunately, it seems to be a problem with your database. Probably, this is corrupt. You can try to make a new clean install with another database and you can try to copy and then paste the specific table with your widgets in the new database. Copy them from old database to new database and check the results. Also, you can try to see the following tutorial here -> https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-corrupted-wordpress-database-2/ and maybe you can save your database. -> https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-corrupted-wordpress-database-2/
Thanks for your understanding!
