This plugin was installed with the theme my client is using, and it caused the sites
menus to become unresponsive. Disabling it solve my issues.

Why do these plugins, that everyone finds so easy to use, never work for me Try 
as a might, following the out of date video, and then the documentation, this plugin
simply doesn’t work. I created the sidebars, set up the Sidebar Replacements and
it does nothing. Such a shame, it looked like it was going to be a cool little plugin
too

Kudos to the plugin author. Mimics core perfectly and does exactly what I need it
to do. Plus – no intrusive ads.

I’ve used this plugin for many years now and have always been very satisfied with
the functionality as well as the support. Very reliable solution when you need to
have a more complex, dynamic sidebar setup on your WordPress website.
