    This morning alle the widget has stopped working, on all parts of site. I didn’t update anything, or do some weird actions. You can see what is the result now at http://www.lindro.it/
    Both topbar, right sidebar and footer where the widget are sets working properly, displaying empy field or strange content.
    Did someone have the same problem and know how to solve it?

    It looks as if some widgets still work (thinking of the Twitter widget, for instance).
    What did you have in these widgets?
    In WordPress 4.8 the text widget was changed so that it is now handled through TinyMCE. This gives you rich text editing, but if you have been putting strange html markup and javascript in them, then there’s risk that things will break.
    The old (“dumb”) text widget can right now be installed as a plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-text-widget/

    Your theme (smart-mag) is a commercial one. I suggest you also check with the theme author/vendor if they have made any recent changes.

    Thanks for the reply Tor-Björn Fjellner.
    I wrote to the theme author, but i haven’t got any answer yet, so i started to check if there is a faster solution. I know about the 4.8 change, but i did the update weeks ago, and everythings work until this morning, furthermore the text widgets are only 2/14. I really don’t know where to start to solve the problem.

    Text widgets with “Strange” content would still work fine, until you try to edit them…

    Some ideas:
    Temporarily activate wp-debug (defined in wp-config.php) might show some warnings/errors that may give hints.

    Incremental reinstall of WP core, theme, plugins?

    Check integrity of database

    EditAdd: Security scan

    WP_DEBUG doesn’t display anything
    I check the integrity of DB, everything is fine
    I launch also a security scan, everything is ok.

    If is possible, i want to leave the reinstall for the last thing… any other ideas?

    Many thanks for everything for now! 🙂

    Hmm. I went back to have another look. Seems to be working better now?
    Perhaps some cache issue?

    Now i have deactivated all plugin and it happen a strange thing.
    With 2 plugin disabled, the widget start working, but the image became hidden.
    If i activate the plugin, the image appear and the widget stopped working.
    It’s frustrating

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets/ was updated 36 minutes ago. Try an update first… 🙂

    2.6.2.1
    Fixed a compatibility issue experienced by some users, when using other plugins to handle their widgets.
