Title: Dashboard Widgets “Loading…” Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Dashboard Widgets “Loading…” * [shadybrothers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shadybrothers/) * (@shadybrothers) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-widgets-loading/) * Hi, I am experiencing the same problem that overdeath has described ([http://wordpress.org/support/topic/170449?replies=5](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/170449?replies=5)) * I have gone in and confirmed that widgets.php and wlwmanifest.xl are in the wp- includes folder. * deleted/re uploaded. My dashboard widgets (besides latest comments) are stuck on “loading…”. * I get the following error in IE6: * Line: 4 Char: 2 Error: ‘undefined’ is null or not an object Code: 0 URL: [http://critaddict.shadyacres.co.nz/wp-admin/](http://critaddict.shadyacres.co.nz/wp-admin/) * does anyone have any insight with regards to this problem?

Most helpers in this forum look for unreplied to topics, and seeing 11 posts, they might think someone is already helping them. Instead, try detailing the problem more thoroughly, like do they ever load, does clearing the cache help, have you tried a complete fresh install? * Thread Starter [shadybrothers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shadybrothers/) * (@shadybrothers) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-widgets-loading/#post-752505) * Thats a valid point. I was going for the hopefully it can get seen before it gets buried under everything else. Apologies. * The widgets have never loaded besides the Recent Comments one. This includes a fresh install of 2.5 then an upgrade to 2.5 then deletion and fresh install again. * I have cleared my cache on this PC and the PC i use at work. The widgets will not load where ever I log in. * Anything further I can add? * Thanks for the reply as well * [Alex Cragg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epicalex/) * (@epicalex) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-widgets-loading/#post-752514) * OK, I’ve had a bit of a look, and from what I can see, there are four jquery ajax calls being made: * ``` GET http://mydomain.com/wp-admin/index-extra.php?jax=incominglinks GET http://mydomain.com/wp-admin/index-extra.php?jax=devnews GET http://mydomain.com/wp-admin/index-extra.php?jax=planetnews GET http://mydomain.com/wp-admin/index-extra.php?jax=plugins ``` * Is that file in your wp-admin? * Have you got the firefox firebug plugin? If you use that you might be able to see what is happening wrong, like if there is a timeout set that shouldn’t be etc, or if it is just failing somehow. * Alex * [johnmark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnmark/) * (@johnmark) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-widgets-loading/#post-752553) * I have the exact same issue. None of my incoming feeds load in the dashboard. I can’t find any error logs, either. * Thread Starter [shadybrothers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shadybrothers/) * (@shadybrothers) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-widgets-loading/#post-752555) * epicalex, I have had a look and I do have index-extra.php in my wp-admin folder. * I opened each link that you have posted above individually and they called the information that they were supposed to. Once I went back to my wp dashboard all the widgets called the information! The only widget that doesn’t call the information now is the W3Counter plugin, hopefully I can get that working soon. * Johnmark, i recommend that you open each link that epicalex has listed from your domain and then that should load the widgets on your page! * Thread Starter [shadybrothers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shadybrothers/) * (@shadybrothers) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-widgets-loading/#post-752558) * Back to normal. oh well. * [wsuschmitt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wsuschmitt/) * (@wsuschmitt) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-widgets-loading/#post-752578) * I just did what epicalex suggested and all of the areas in the Dashboard work just fine now. * Thank you!!
