Multisite Dashboard AJAX problem – solved – bug report?

so … just did what you told me. enabled the twenty eleven theme for the network. then enabled it on one mutlisite domain and the problem is still there!!

if i click on the toggle thingy in the dashboard upper right corner ‘screen option’ or ‘help’ or on ‘howdy, username’ nothing is happening! the menus don’t collapse!

so it is the same thing with theme twenty eleven.

also i’m not sure how you could say that i clearly have made a few changes??

i haven’t! just the standard twenty ten theme with ONE function in the functions.php file to remove this ‘quickpres’ widget as the problems go away after i did that

hope this helps you guys to re-produce the issue

thanks & fun

yep … great … we got another one 😉 who can confirm that it has nothing to do with plugins or the different browsers

abigailm … just put that piece of code into your functions.php in the theme. if there isn’t a functions.php file there yet then just create one and put that code in to remove the ‘quickpress’ widget and see if this helps. it did help on my sites and the errors were gone

// Create the function to use in the action hook

function removeDashboardWidgets() {
	global $wp_meta_boxes;
	// Remove the quickpress widget
	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_quick_press']);

} 

// Hoook into the 'wp_dashboard_setup' action to register our function

add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'removeDashboardWidgets' );

please let me know if this improves things – thanks

probably some other widgets are causing the problem?

you can disable all widgets if you like. there is this global $wp_meta_boxes which you could have a look at to see which widgets are loaded. there are 2 kinds of widgets ‘normal’ and ‘core’. you could loop with foreach through the normal and core and then remove them one by one to see if removing widgets helps to improve things.

have a look at the function below i used to figure out things ->

function removeDashboardWidgets() {
	// Globalize the metaboxes array, this holds all the widgets for wp-admin

	global $wp_meta_boxes;

	/*
	foreach (array_keys($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']) as $name){
		echo ("<p>");
		echo ($name);
		echo("</p>");

	}
	*/

	// Remove the quickpress widget

	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_quick_press']);

	// Remove the incomming links widget

	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_incoming_links']);
	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_recent_comments']);
	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_plugins']);
	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_primary']);
	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_secondary']);
	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_recent_drafts']);
} 

// Hoook into the 'wp_dashboard_setup' action to register our function

add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'removeDashboardWidgets' );

a var_dump($wp_meta_boxes) will probably also give you the info you need

best of luck and please post your report here

hi abigailm

you’re a star 😉

So it is a big help to offer up suggestions for more debugging — but denying that there is a problem in the face of multiple reports doesn’t make sense.

after the last reply from user ipstenu, which i actually didn’t find very helpful, i just couldn’t be bothered to send another reply … sorry

i had the same impression of denying that there is a problem

so thanks abigailm, i couldn’t have used better words 😉

aehm …. by the way … i know my name becki is a bit confusing as most people think i’m female … hahaaa 😉 but the female becky is written with a ‘y’ and the male becki is written with an ‘i’, at least here in germany.

well … i know, very confusing, but i got this nickname assigned by some friends of mine in the last couple of years

here’s the actual proof being male -> http://beckspaced.com

thanks again abigailm 😉
