URGENT HELP NEEDED: Empty / missing sidebar after update of boss theme

[Anonymous]

@vapvarum,

Please send me the previous version of the boss theme, version 1.1.8, so that I can recover it.

Nicole

p.s.: Why are things getting worse than better? Where is the promised update that fixes the whole fonts issue without creating new ones?

I successfully restored theme from backup. Don’t need to send.

Hi @nmschaller, We are working on issues related Social Themes at this time. It will get updates shortly. Inside our last update Boss Parent theme issues are covered.
Please let me know what exact issues you faced after the updates ? It will help us to fix them in parallel.

Well, the obvious right after updating was:

– empty or no sidebar

Then I immediately restored the old theme version.

Okay,
I will crosscheck with developers.

I also lost my sidebar, and my login and register buttons are no longer showing on mobile and tablet devices. I’m not sure how much of this is due to the latest Boss theme update or the recent BuddyPress updates (I have a Social Learner/LearnDash setup).

Hi @cheech1981, You are not getting it on all page or just woo commerce pages ?
In our latest update we have removed woocommerce.php from parent theme,
If you have issues only with single prodduct sidebar please include attached files inside your child theme. Extract it first, it contain woocommerce.php.

Hi @cheech1981 and @cheech1981
Please copy sidebar.php from the parent Boss theme (1.1.9) and add it to child theme and
modify the sidebar.php with following code inside child theme
we will push update asap

<!-- default WordPress sidebar -->
<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
	<?php 
	if (function_exists('is_shop') && is_shop()) {
		if (is_active_sidebar('woo_sidebar')):
            dynamic_sidebar('woo_sidebar');
        endif;
	} else {
		if ( is_active_sidebar('sidebar') ) : 
			dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar' );
		endif; 
	} ?>
</div><!-- #secondary -->

@vapvarun,

Sensei widget area looks o.k.

WooCommerce sidebar looks o.k.

Main widget area: looks o.k., too. As Jetpack widget visibility is not activated, all widgets appear on all pages.

Footer widgets look o.k.

Thanks Varun,

I think I’ll wait for the update as well if it’s going to come out tonight, but if it takes longer, I might do the code fix you suggested. Have a nice day.
