Hi @Mila_Simakova and @ajnyga,

Ah, thanks for the tip, @ajnyga – I suspect you identified the issue.

@Mila_Simakova, @ajnyga is referring to the plugin_settings table in the database. You probably have access to a MySQL client like phpMyAdmin (typically through your CPanel account, depending on your hosting provider).

To move all blocks to the sidebar that might have had a different setting in OJS 2.4.x, try running this in the MySQL client…

UPDATE plugin_settings SET setting_value=1 WHERE setting_name='context' AND plugin_name LIKE '%BlockPlugin';

Then clear your cache, either using the Administrator’s interface, or by removing all .php files from the cache/ subdirectory of your OJS installation.

Please confirm whether this resolves the issue, and I’ll address it in the upgrade code.

Regards,
