User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the flexibility and functionality of the WooSidebars WordPress plugin, particularly its ability to create custom widget areas and assign them to specific pages, posts, categories, and more. This feature is especially useful for complex websites and multilingual setups. However, numerous drawbacks are noted, such as the lack of updates and support, leading to compatibility issues with recent WordPress and PHP versions. Many users encountered fatal errors, bugs, and crashes that affected their website's functionality. Despite the powerful features, the plugin's reliability and maintenance concerns overshadow its benefits for many users.

There is a problem with line 170 in class-woo-sidebars.php which can be fixed by changing the %a to a %s. From this: 'search_items' => sprintf( __( 'Search %a', 'woosidebars' ), $plural ), To this: 'search_items' => sprintf( __( 'Search %s', 'woosidebars' ), $plural ),

Hace casi dos años que no lo actualizan y con la última versión de WordPress 5.8 ha roto mi web. Los artículos han empezado a perder el formato, tamaño de texto, colores, bordes, celdas, etc… y me he vuelto loco durante dos semanas hasta encontrar el problema. Además, si accedo al menú de widgets de worpress empiezan a saltar lineas de error, una por cada widget que tengo en cada barra lateral con este plugin. Y antes de que me de tiempo ha hacer nada, página en blanco con error 404 y la web inservible durante un buen rato. Solución a todos los problemas, desactivar todas las opciones de este plugin, desactivar el plugin y borrarlo y limpiar la base de datos del CPanel. Conclusión: Instalar plugins gratuitos es un error, tarde o temprano los abandonan.

If you have trouble with widgets showing or being compatible in Oxygen Builder, this plugin can do wonders. Especially true regarding WooCommerce plugins and how they utilize Widgets a lot. Needs to be regularly updated though.
