[resolved] Dashboard and Widgets Problem (13 posts)

    Hello!

    Yesterday (8/19) I downloaded a logo for my web site. After it downloaded I received an error message. I was able to get this fixed last night but now my site is a mess. All the widgets I had are gone.

    When I try to go to my dashboard I receive an error message that I do not have permission to access and I can not delete any of the unused widgets on the sidebar. Here is a link to my site http://www.onlineadmin.net.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    If you can login to the Admin area, try deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    If you can't login, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    Thanks. I deactivated all the plugins. I can access the dashboard but I still can not delete the widgets on the sidebar. Any suggestions?

    Here is the link again. http://www.onlineadmin.net.

    Hang on - are these widgets that you've added using Admin/Appearance/Widgets? Or is this the default sidebar content?

    It's the default sidebar content.

    Sounds like your sidebar isn't widget-capable.
