Widget saving and editing is broken?

    I’ve tried everything. I’ve switched themes. Then deactivated all plugins and still can’t save or edit a widget.

    Weirdest thing. When I go to save, it takes a few seconds, then the whole page appears in the widget area in the editor and all the text in my editor dash turns my link color.

    I can’t think of what else to do…

    Please help.

    Have you tried:

    – 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 3.3.2.

    Thanks Esmi for your reply. I have switched to the most current 2011 theme available and got the same thing when saving widgets or trying to.

    I have deactivated all my plugins and it didn’t seem to help, but I will try your methods. I was wondering if something was stuck in the db somewhere

    will try the reinstall of 3.3.2 also. I was wondering if 3.4 would fix this but I’m not sure I want to try that yet…

    Thanks again.

    In my experience, it’s unlikely that an upgrade would correct this problem.

    OK the plugins solution didn’t work. At least through ftp.

    I had an idea that since I edit my .htaccess file a lot, maybe I should try a blank one to see if that fixes things. It did.

    So I have to go through my file and see what was causing the errors. I’m sure I have a rule that’s either not complete, wrong, or duplication.

    Thanks for your help… I’ll post what is causing the trouble.

    figured it out. I had a redirect on admin ajax script .php because my logs were showing some unwarranted traffic to the files. I was redirecting that url to my home page. Duh.

    is there another way to block people from trying to access ‘wp-admin/admin-ajax.php’

    Thanks again!
