Now, first and foremost, I'm not a coder/programmer, so I'm doing what I know how to do without looking at the nuts and bolts.</p> <p>But, that said, I disabled all my plugins and was then able to move my widgets around in the design interface. Not sure what plugin is interfering, but if I figure that out, I'll comment here.</p> <p>FYI,</p> <p>Kris </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189665#post-813204 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 06:57:43 +0000 necede 813204@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I was wondering if WordPress developers could make it so that I don't have to re-activate my theme every time I make a change in my widgets. I have yet to just be able to update a widget and save changes and then see it on my site. Each time I have to go to Design : Theme : Select Theme : Activate Theme --- in order to the changes. Anyone else have that issue? Seems like too many steps. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189665#post-813026 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:35:46 +0000 blogchief 813026@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I didn't have problems moving widgets around in the 2.5 iterations, but now that I've upgraded to 2.6, I can't move my widgets around!</p> <p>What gives?!</p> <p>If anyone knows why it's doing this and/or has a solution, please share. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189665#post-809875 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:49:15 +0000 pnaw10 809875@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>This has been going on since 2.5.<br /> Join everyone else who hates the new widget system here:</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164474/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164474/</a></p> <p>When I saw a thread called "Widgets in 2.6" I was hoping for people saying things are OK now and they've been put back to the old way... but no such luck.</p> <p>I wish WordPress would either explain why they screwed up the Widget system (if I knew why, it MIGHT be a little easier to deal with it) or at least pay attention to these forums, see our major dislike for this, and put the widgets back to the <em>before</em>-2.5 way. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189665#post-808316 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 01:52:15 +0000 jimmiles 808316@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I too, cannot move between 2 sidebars. And as monniblog said, the interface is not user friendly. It's just clunky. </p> <p>I'm in Widget Withdrawal! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189665#post-808239 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:26:53 +0000 titlemethis 808239@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm having a hard time moving my widgets as well and it does piss me off to try and remove a widget because i have to click edit and then remove while waiting for the screen to load. I'm very unhappy with 2.6 and wish I never upgraded. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189665#post-806837 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:51:07 +0000 monniblog 806837@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I agree about the drag &#38; drop between sidebars. There has to be a friendlier interface for that. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189665#post-806276 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:44:31 +0000 Anatis 806276@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Okay.<br /> I have installed 2.6 on a testblog. Mainly because I no longer trust WP and didn't want to wreck my current live blog.<br /> It was a good call on my part...</p> <p>First issue I hit (aside from the fact that the widgets area is crap) was that I couldn't REMOVE a widget from the bar I put it on.<br /> I logged into IE and that seemed to solve it for some reason. Go figure. I see the links in Firefox too, now.</p> <p>(Edit)<br /> Put the remove as an option where you put the edit maybe, on the widget button? Or is that too dangerous?<br /> Actually, it is, if you look at the example below.</p> <p>Right, now here goes.</p> <p>I completely, utterly and totally do not follow where you are going with this.<br /> WHY do you make me REMOVE a widget from a bar, lose ALL the settings from it, before I can add it to another bar?<br /> Previously (2.3.3.) I just dragged the widget to the other sidebar, saved changes, and hey presto, it was done.<br /> Now?<br /> I'll use a text widget as an example, since chances are there are multiples of those.<br /> Add widget to sidebar 1.<br /> Set up widget. (put text in etc)<br /> Save changes.<br /> Oh oops, I need it on sidebar 2!<br /> Remove widget from sidebar 1<br /> Switch widget view to sidebar 2<br /> Add widget.<br /> Ah. No more settings...<br /> Set up widget (redoing text because I didn't copy it first)<br /> Save changes.<br /> Hit wall and curse WP for changing the drag and drop between bars and forcing me to redo a widget if I dare to want to move it!</p> <p>All I can say is - Way to go. Whoever came up with this... sorry pal, but that ISN'T productive. </p>
