[Resolved!] - Please delete this thread! - OJS 3.1.2. Custom Block Plugin Disappears With Child Theme

Software Support
1

Hi Everyone,

Issue:
I have created a child theme off of bootstrap 3 and have enabled a custom block plugin on my site. I have looked in many tpl files but I think I have narrowed it down to header.tpl which is responsible for the aside bar (please correct me if I’m wrong though). When I enable the custom block on parent theme it shows up but disappears for the child theme.

Testing Steps:
I did some testing and activated the bootstrap 3 parent theme with my custom block plugin enabled. The sidebar shows up successfully but when I enable my child theme, the sidebar disappears. I have not changed any parts of the template files that would affect the sidebar so I’m a bit confused about why the block plugin disappears. Any hints or tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated! :innocent: Thank you!

Replying to myself but while digging through inherited code, I found the missing aside bar in the footer.tpl! :upside_down_face: False alarm, issue resolved!
