# Dashboard widgets keep "loading…"

 * The widgets (ie Plugings, Incoming Links, Other WordPress News…) on my dashboard
   keep on “loading…” Any solution as to why this is happening?
 * Here is a picture to show an example: [http://i38.tinypic.com/1sd4s6.jpg](http://i38.tinypic.com/1sd4s6.jpg)
 * Thanks.

 * Have you tested this in any other browser and on any other computer?

 * I’ve tried it both on IE & Safari on my computer. I’ve also tried it on my laptop.

 * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Default theme (WordPress
   1.5 – 2.9.2) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to rule-out a
   theme-specific issue (theme functions can sometimes interfere with the admin 
   panel).
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try [downloading WordPress](http://wordpress.org/download/)
   again and delete then replace your copies of the `/wp-admin/` and `/wp-includes/`
   directories with fresh copies from the download.
 * And, if neither of those work, then it’s a strong possibility that your hosting
   provider is blocking PHP’s ability to include remote feeds.

 * I’ve tried all the things you’ve suggested and I’ve even started from scratch.
 * I think it possibly could be my hosting provider. It’s strange because when I
   was using an older version it would load on the dashboard. I can’t remember what
   version it was when it stopped loading.
 * I’ll try contacting my host. Thanks so much!

 * Called my host and the representative told me my blog was running on PHP 4. So
   I had to edit my .htaccess and added a code to make it run on PHP 5. Not sure
   if I understood him or explained it on here correctly, but it was fixed!
