Accidentally Moved Sidebar to Inactive – Need to Restore
-
I have taken over a WordPress site for someone who left. I thought I was deleting a text box but ended up moving all items in our sidebar to “Inactive Sidebar”. I need to move these back to where they were in the right-hand sidebar. This is new to me and I have no idea how to get these items back to appear in the sidebar.
All help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, I read this, saw I couldn’t answer and was about to leave but wanted to suggest you clarify a bit so someone else might be able to answer. What site it is, what theme you’re using etc.

The site is https://mistoday.sls.org/. The theme is Chirps Child Theme.
I am unsure of where to move the following items back so that they appear in the far right-hand column/sidebar [Search, Navigation Menu: LINKS, Text (a list of sponsors), G1 Ad, G1 Social, Text (List of Exhibitors)].

Ahh ok. I looked up the site and it’s hosted with Network Solutions, so if you need more specific help in the future, then you should have better luck reaching out to them.
For now though, there’s a section in the documentation for your theme on adding a custom sidebar so you can remake it – I don’t know how to or if you can recover what was lost. Perhaps folks at WordPress.org forums can help with answering that question?
Here’s the guide specific to your theme though: https://docs.chirps.bringthepixel.com/#g1docs-adding-custom-sidebarThe theme also has its own support at https://bringthepixel.ticksy.com/

Unfortunately, none of the instructions found work. There is no option for “sidebar” in the customize>widgets section. All that appear there is Prefooter 1, Prefooter 2, and Prefooter3.
There is a “page sidebar for ms” item in Menus, and I do believe that used to appear in the widget area, but none of the options available are putting it in the sidebar.
