• Hello Folks!

    Since I switched to 2.8 I can’t get the widget page to work. For example I can’t drag a text widget to the sidebar!

    Is there a fix?

    Thank you,

    Riley West

    Hello Ryan!

    It sounds like you know what to do but I still don’t get it. Are you saying that I have to replace wp-includes and wp-admin files for that particular wordpress blog?

    I’d like not to reinstall the blog because when I do I encounter random problems that I have trouble fixing. (like suddenly I can’t do widgets)

    Is there someone a fellow can contact to have a detailed discussion with for fixit advice?

    Thank you,

    Hello!

    For you good folks on this thread I wrote this and then started a NW thread with it so we have two of these “widget threads” going – no harm I suppose.

    There HAS to be other folks who need this fix I am seeking. Like CommonForte.

    IS there a way to talk directly to someone on this forum…like a PM or something?

    Well anyway here it is: (the post #1 on a new thread started 8/14/09)

    Hello Folks!

    I have widget problems!

    Right now I can change current sidebar widgets but I can’t add one. When I try to add one it won’t let me select and drag. It says this near the top of widget central…

    “Drag widgets from here to a sidebar on the right to activate them. Drag widgets back here to deactivate them and delete their settings.”

    One good fellow suggested I “reupload wp-includes and wp-admin files.”

    If that will fix it I will do it, but (there’s always a “but”) Don’t I have to know exactly which version of WP I am currently using to get the exact right for version wp-includes and wp-admin files.

    I make everything too difficult…is there someone who can do this for me?

    What would THAT entail?

    Anyway I need to fix my widgets! And I usually need very detailed instructions.

    You see…I use a blog on the outside. I never go far inside and as a result I know very little, but just enough to cause trouble and waste time.

    For me going inside is like falling down the rabbit hole.

    Thank you,

    Riley West
