• For some reason I lost the fabulous ‘drag on drop’ on the widgets page after the last update? It is so inconvenient to use the present edit system, the drag/drop was so much quicker and more accurate. Anyone way to fix it or reason why this happened?

  • Have you figured this out yet? I’m having the same problem, which I just posted about a moment ago. I’m really hoping that someone will help!

    Nope… no idea. Driving me crazy now. Grr.

    Have you tried:

    – 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).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

    I paid for my theme and it’s been fine till now – I’m not redesigning it all for one issue. Its only happened since I updated my wordpress as far as I know. I don’t have endless amounts of time to spend on going through each plugin (deactivating and reactivating it one thing – but then I have to go through each one for settings etc too!!) Thanks ESMI, but honestly… ARRGH!

    If it’s a commercial theme you should contact the vendor — support should be included in what you paid. Unfortunately, commercial themes are not supported here, as they are not freely available for testing, etc.

    Thanks, I found this –

    Fixed it!

    In the widgets panel, select “screen options” (upper right hand corner)…then click “Disable accessibility mode”.

    Don’t know what that does, but I can now drag & drop the widgets again.
    which worked on the drag/drop issue. My images are playing up – disappearing randomly – thought too. Groan!
