    I am getting the following error when I activate Genesis Simple Sidebars. It seems I made a side bar (I titled it 3) but did not give it an ID name. Now with the 4.2.0 update, it is causing the following notice.

    Here is my notice:

    Notice: register_sidebar was called incorrectly. No id was set in the arguments array for the "3" sidebar. Defaulting to "0". Manually set the id to "0" to silence this notice and keep existing sidebar content. (This message was added in version 4.2.0.) public_html/Docmortgages.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4986

    I don't think anything is wrong, but the notice is annoying. I have deleted the plugin and reinstalled it to no avail. I don't want to deactivate simple sidebars because I need them for what I am doing. AND, genesis will not allow me to delete the "3" sidebar because it is telling me it doesn't exist.

    Any suggestions on how to get rid of the notification would be greatly appreciated.

    Notices like that will display when you have DEBUG set to TRUE in the wp-config.php file. While other times, you actually need to fix the issue.
