[RESOLVED] Plugin Theme : Sidebar option

[n00dles101]

Here's an updated plugin file for you.

Should work as expected.

the problem was you were save the value of $_POST['sidebaractive'] whereas you should have been saving the value of your radio group 'option1'

added some code to the radio button to make sure the current value is also set.

Code:
