I noticed there was an upgrade available. So, I did the automatic upgrade, checked out the widgets and they worked. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1147562 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:08:18 +0000 dreamwhisper 1147562@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Deactivating plugins didn't work for me. However, I then installed the use google libraries plugin and I could immediately move my widgets. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1137331 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:12:00 +0000 nemoprincess 1137331@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have the same issue, I can't drag and drop widget and I can't use Screen Options, it doesn' work.

As soon as I reactivate it the widgets are frozen again. I hope they make an update to fix this. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1102153 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:07:44 +0000 ritshuis 1102153@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>e-commerce was the problem here... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1101459 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 01:04:22 +0000 zizz 1101459@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>yes disabling widgets sorted out my problem, mine was caused by FLickr Badge Widget, it was obviously behaving badly as the remove close buttons didnt disappear, once disabled i was able to move other well behaved widgets into place and then reactivating the flickr badge widget let me drag it into the correct spot.</p> <p>Enabling accessibility didn't help, couldn't drag anything at all with that on. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1101355 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 23:08:01 +0000 cooeeman 1101355@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>IntenseDebate Version 2.1.1 was my problem. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1100279 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:54:09 +0000 Sajor 1100279@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Same problem here, the faulty plugin was "Liz Comment Counter by Ozh"... =( </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1099980 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 03:27:57 +0000 NetApex 1099980@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I just found that the WPBook was causing my problem. So deactivate, do my moves, and reactivate is the order of the day it seems. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1099957 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 03:07:01 +0000 MichaelH 1099957@http://wordpress.org/support/ <blockquote><p>however, WP 2.8 does show the widgets but won't let you drag and drop them unless you turn on the accessibility mode.</p></blockquote> <p>That's not always true, but the accessibility mode can work in situations where plugins have their own JS files that seem to cause issues with core JS. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1099897 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:10:37 +0000 bh_WP_fan 1099897@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I always recommend deactivating plugins, however, WP 2.8 does show the widgets but won't let you drag and drop them unless you turn on the accessibility mode. Based on the given description I assume this is what is happening. If that didn't work, turning to the plugins and then uploading files again is where my recommendations would go. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1099568 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:09:57 +0000 Nadeem73 1099568@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>More then likely the problem comes from a plugin as wp in it's deafult flavour would not have that issue.</p> <p>So best deactivating all plugins and re enable one at a time and check u can drag and drop until you find the one that stops you from being able to drag and drop. </p> <p>More then likely some plugins will need upgrading to work with 2.8 but that could take time dependent on how well supported the plugin is. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1099556 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:05:08 +0000 esmi 1099556@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@bh_WP_fan: won't that just turn the button back on? If the widgets can't be dragged &amp; dropped, something, somewhere, is interfering. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1099464 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 21:17:04 +0000 bh_WP_fan 1099464@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>In the upper right corner of your WordPress dashboard, when on the widgets page, try going to Screen Options, then click on "Enable Accessibility Mode" </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1099310 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:11:59 +0000 esmi 1099310@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Try deactivating all plugins and check to see if this resolves the problem. If it does, activate the plugins one by one - checking the Widget's section after each re-activation - until you find the problematic plugin(s). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278712#post-1098758 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:30:07 +0000 kokirilink 1098758@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>As the title says, just upgraded from 2.7 to 2.8, and when I go to the "Widgets" section....I see them..I just cant move them! Any help? </p>
