I am unable to move any widgets while in Presentation/Sidebar Widgets. Also, I cannot configure any of them. There is absolutely no response to clicking or dragging; only highlighting. Furthermore, if I access the page with Firefox 1.5.0.4, my widgets for Sidebar 1 appear behind the creme-colored "Default Sidebar" box rather than below it.

Try turning off any admin-themes and check to see if the /scriptaculous directory is in /wp-includes/js/

Posted 3 years ago #I'm not familiar with admin-themes. Also, that directory does not exist in my installation.

Well then you need to put it there.
When you installed the widgets plugin, one of the things in the instructions was to move the scriptaculous folder (the one that came with the widgets plugin) into the /wp-includes/js directory. If you don't do that then it doesn't work, as you have discovered.

Posted 3 years ago #Alright, I fixed that, but it hasn't resolved my issue, and now the Sidebar 1 column appears above the Available Widgets Column.

Posted 3 years ago #I just changed some security settings in my Internet Options, and that only changed one thing; namely, I can now drag the widgets. Clicking on the Configure box still does nothing, and the page display is still out of wack.

Try deactivating any other plugins and test again?
EDIT: And make sure you clear the cache.

Posted 3 years ago #Alright, deactivating Now Reading 4.2 fixes the issue of not being able to configure any widgets, but the display is still messed up. The "Sidebar 1" column is completely left, while the "Available Widgets" column is below it and is nearly the full width of the screen with the widgets inside being mis-shapen as well

Posted 3 years ago #I've even updated to the newest trunk of the widgets plugin now, and still nothing.

Sorry, think I ran outta steam.
It appears there have been multiple releases of "Version 1.0" of widgets.php. One I tried (from svn) has all the 'unused' widgets sitting in a box at bottom of screen. That one won't work for me.
Another one that I originally downloaded from Automattic (not the same one there now), has the 'unused' widgets sitting in a 'sidebar' arrangement on the left side of the screen, stacked vertically. That one does work for me.
The included scriptaculous files changed as well. I see no difference in behavior regardless of those (either 'version' seems to work fine).
-
Sorry about the lack of version numbers, folks. We'll shore that up for you.
The latest change (90 minutes ago) fixed a behavior like the one you describe, which only happens with certain themes. You can get the latest plugin file here:

Just tried it, looks good so far (as in public page shows widgets). Very cool.
Thanks! (Andy?)

Posted 3 years ago #Nothing changes if Widgets is the only enabled plugin; except that deactivated widgets disappear, of course.

Sure your cache is clear (browser/server/wp-cache)?

Posted 3 years ago #In the latest version of Widgets plugin, I was able to make it work by just uploading the whole folder in the plugins dir. Didn't moved the js to the wp-include/js folder.
-
The scriptaculous directory can be in the widgets directory or the js directory. It doesn't matter.
I updated the plugin a short while ago for backwards compatibility. If something is still wrong, I'm going to need more details or more access. If you want me to log in to your system and check it out, email creds to my username at gmail.com.

Posted 3 years ago #I updated, and still trouble. I've cleared my cache a hundred times. I'll email you, and hopefully you can pick out the problem.

Posted 3 years ago #I've just installed the widgets files and although I can drag and drop the widgets, I can't configure them and the following appears at the bottom of the screen:-
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_nonce_field() in /home/zeitungt/public_html/wp-content/plugins/widgets/widgets.php on line 635Any ideas please?

You might want to give that particular code another look then, because it certainly does matter on my blog. If the scriptaculous directory is in the widgets directory, then it certainly doesn't work on my box.

Posted 3 years ago #I suppose I should mention that I'm running WP 2.0.3. Nothing I do helps this. Am I the only one experiencing this?
-
What theme are you using?
Can you list the active plugins here? -
Posted 3 years ago #I've already disabled all of them, with one obvious exception. The theme is Dusk, but that doesn't affect the admin section.
-
You deactivated the 2.0.3 tuneup plugin?
-
Posted 3 years ago #I don't have that as far as I know.
-
Posted 3 years ago #Okay, I found it and installed and activated it. No changes to my issue.
-
Posted 3 years ago #So, I just did a brand new install. Guess what, the Available Widgets is below Sidebar 1 and is full width. Pretty conclusive for me.
-
Exactly what can be concluded from that?
The "Sidebar 1" column is completely left, while the "Available Widgets" column is below it and is nearly the full width of the screen
