# Multiple Problems with WPMU installation

 * I recently installed WPMU on my WordPress and Buddypress installation. WPMU works
   fantastically, but I have ran into a number of problems on the admin side of 
   things.
 * 1. When I go to write a new page or post, the layout is warped, the text is white
   and it won’t let me pubish.
 * 2. On the widget menu, it won’t let me drag and drop, remove or edit widgets.
 * 3. When you click on the ‘Blogs’ tab on the public site, the rest of the nav-
   bar disappears.
 * Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

 * Deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins.
    Do a manual reupload of WP files via FTP
   or cPanel. Check if #1 and #2 have been resolved – only then do you reactivate
   BuddyPress and BP plugins.

 * Are you actually using WordPress or WPMU?
 * I’m checking becasue it’s no longer WPMU, and there are a couple hosts still 
   doing auto-installs of it. If it’s 3.0+ you’re fine though.

 * Just followed your steps, everything working apart from the widgets.

 * > 2. On the widget menu, it won’t let me drag and drop, remove or edit widgets.
 * I wonder. Can you drag/drop menus on the Appearance -> Menu section?
 * This may be a browser issue.

 * Or a plugin issue.

 * … Or going multisite with BuddyPress and BP plugins activated, maybe. Curious
   how long this intsallation has been live with WP/BP and if multisite setup was
   in subdomain or subdirectory structure.
 * If it were a new install, I would start from scratch. Go multisite, check if 
   everything’s working well in install, before installing/activating BuddyPress.

 * Well, I’ll put this out 🙂
 * I’m running Multisite with BuddyPress and a slew of BP plugins. No widget problems
   at all 🙂

 * First rule of troubleshooting: turn off all plugins. 🙂

 * Turn on the plugins until you find the one that makes the widgets not work.

 * And remember to turn off the ones in mu-plugins too!
