 * Hello,
 * I can’t drag & drop the widgets after I have upgraded WP 3.2.
 * Currently I have WP 3.2.1 upgraded. But the issue remains same.
 * My site url is [http://www.timesofassam.com](http://www.timesofassam.com)
 * And my hosting company is Dreamhost. I have other WordPress sites under the same
   hosting with no problem. But I am having the problem for the above mentioned 
   domain. So I am sure that this is not server related issue.
 * I have also tried switching to Twenty Ten theme, but the issue remains same.
 * Please help me.
 * NOTE: I have searched the forum, but my answer is not there.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Esmi,
 * Yes I tried all 3 options you have mentioned.

 * Even I have deleted all plugins too.

 * It could be server-related, Just because you have sites with the same host doesn’t
   mean that they are all on the same physical server. But you could try re-uploading
   the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Esmi, I tried fresh download too. But no impact.

 * Then it’s more likely to be server related. Have you spoken to DreamHosts?

 * Yes I have talked with Dreamhost. They said to ask me wordpress official forum.
   So I am here.

 * Have you tried checking for javascript errors? Admin features are js and a bad
   script can disable other scripts on the page. If you haven’t already, just pop
   open the Firebug js console and reload the admin page, watching for any errors.
 * This was my problem, since I’m trying to add a custom .js file and all of my 
   admin quit working.
 * Hope this might help anyone else.
