Hi, good day.

I’m not sure if this question was already asked but I’m gonna ask anyway.

How can I remove a custom widget area once its created? I can’t seem to find a delete button once the Additional Custom Sidebar is created.

Regards,

Hello,

Please find legenda/framework/js/admin.js file
http://prntscr.com/ieo2e0
and replace with
```
var delSidebar = '<div class="delete-sidebar">delete</div>';
  
  jQuery('.sidebar-etheme_custom_sidebar').find('.handlediv').before(delSidebar);
  
  jQuery('.delete-sidebar').click(function(){
    
    var confirmIt = confirm('Are you sure?');
    
    if(!confirmIt) return;
    
    var widgetBlock = jQuery(this).closest('.sidebar-etheme_custom_sidebar');
  
    var data =  {
      'action':'etheme_delete_sidebar',
      'etheme_sidebar_name': jQuery(this).parent().find('h2').text()
    };
    
    widgetBlock.hide();
    
    jQuery.ajax({
      url: ajaxurl,
      data: data,
      success: function(response){
        console.log(response);
        widgetBlock.remove();
      },
      error: function(data) {
        alert('Error while deleting sidebar');
        widgetBlock.show();
      }
    });
  });
```

Also, this will be fixed in next theme update.

Hi thanks for the reply.

I also noticed that the generated ID is the same with the name of the custom widget area. Example I created a custom widget area of “Fußzeile Rechnung” the generated ID will also be id=”Fußzeile Rechnung” which I think is not good, it is suppose to be id=”fusszeile-rechnung”.

See screenshot – https://prnt.sc/ieqscr

Hello,

Thanks for the notice.
Please go to legenda/framework/theme-functions.php
find etheme_register_stored_sidebar function
http://prntscr.com/iez4t5 and replace the id
with 'id' => str_replace( ' ', '-', $name ),
http://prntscr.com/iez57x
