# Can’t Save Widget Changes

 * When we make changes to the content within a Visual Editor widget and click ‘
   Save’, the changes don’t save and the following error message shows: “There was
   an error. Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘hasOwnProperty’)”.
 * Additionally, it seems to cause the widgets to then be moved to “Inactive Widgets”.
 * WordPress Version: 5.8.2
    Plugin Version: 2.7.0

 * Hello [@danpw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danpw/)
    thanks for your message.
   I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue you reported so I believe it’s caused by
   a conflict with another plugin (or theme). That’s also because the code in our
   plugin doesn’t use “hasOwnProperty” anywhere, so it’s unlikely that the error
   comes directly from our plugin. Please could you follow the troubleshooting guide
   in our [FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/black-studio-tinymce-widget/faq/) 
   to locate the conflicting plugin and then get back to use? In particular, pay
   attention to the browser javascript console. Thank you.

 * Hey [@marcochiesi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcochiesi/), just circling
   back to let you know what I found. The issue we’re dealing with seems to be a
   bug within the Jetpack plugin Widget Visibility module.
 * I’ve create a plugin support issue within that plugin so you can close this one
   out.
 * Thanks so much!
