Our site was created with custom widget areas. Alot of them are not being used anymore and can be deleted.
However, when you delete custom widget areas, then site pages using those widgets display the wrong widget.
(apparently WordPress assigns unique position to custom widget areas)Is there a safe way to delete these custom widget areas, where the configurations will not be affected?
Also, is there a simple way to find out about which pages are using which widgets?
(I would like to delete all unused custom widget areas)Hi serverlift!
Thanks for using Enfold.
When you select a custom sidebar for your page and save then that sidebar gets saved in the posts custom fields. If the widget area is deleted then it will stop displaying in the sidebar completely and it will use the default sidebar setting. For example if you have some widgets set to the “Sidebar Pages” widget area and then you delete your custom widget area that a page is using then it will default to the “Sidebar Pages” widget area instead.
I don’t know of a way to find all pages that are using a specific widget area. You would have to check them manually I think.
Cheers!
