 * Hi,
    I want to edit the content in the ‘About widget’, but when I click on it,
   nothing happens.It doesn’t lead me to a content box. I can change the heading,
   pre-heading etc. just not the ‘edit content’. I’m using a free version of Optimizer.
   Kindly help.

 * Hi,
 * Sounds like a plugin conflict. Can you please disable all the plugins and see
   if the issue is still there?
 * Thanks

 * Hi Layerthemes,
 * I deactivated most of my plugins, but I could not find the plugin causing the
   conflict. Had a lot of trouble re-activating the plugins again, as it had changed
   some of my settings 🙁
 * That’s why I did not deactivate all as with some I was too scared I would lose
   everything!
 * So the problem still exists, I cannot edit the content in ‘about’ and some other
   widgets. Is there a plugin where you mostly encounter this problem? So I can 
   focus on removing that one. Or can you help me in another way? All plugins are
   updated.
 * Thanks

 * These are my current activated plugins. I’ve checked if the widgets work in the‘
   customize’ mode, and there I can edit them (if I add the widget in the footer
   widget area for example). But I would like them to work in a post and on a page
   in ‘dashboard’ mode.
