 * I’m running the ultimatum theme and i’ve suddenly hit a block in editing my templates
   through the backend editor. I can’t seem to be able to edit any widgets once 
   they have been saved., if i try to click on the down arrow on the right of the
   widget, i get nothing.
 * I’ve tried deactivating my plugins, i’m running Visual composer as well and have
   tried to deactivate that but has made no difference.
 * I have found a very bad workaround by deleting the row on the template and adding
   in a new row so i can change my widget but once it has been saved, i can never
   edit it again. any help will extremely appreciated, thanks.
