Damon, This is not very common in TiddlyWiki but Can happen. If you get an empty file and import your existing wiki it should block core tiddlers and the others are your tiddlers, you could then use the preview on suspicious tiddlers.
Alternatively in your wiki advanced search look for all shadow tiddlers that have being modified and look inside them to see if the edits could be the causer. Another method is to research the whole side bar mechanism on an empty.html and check your own wiki for any variance. There are many ways to do this that you learn over time. Alternatively you could make the wiki (or a reduced content version with the same problem) available to all or a trusted community member and let them have a look for you. There is also the procrastinators approach, let go of that issue for now and continue with other items. Procrastinators sometimes suddenly discover what the did wrong when the stop thinking about it. Thus justifying their procrastination. best of luck Tony On Thursday, April 2, 2020 at 8:05:58 AM UTC+11, Damon Pritchett wrote: > > After playing around this afternoon disabling and/or uninstalling plugins > and checking stylesheets, I cannot for the life of me understand why my > default sidebar tab is stuck at Contents.
