# Widgets – Cannot Drag and Drop

 * This is a brand new WP 3.5.1 install. No plugins have been activated nor added.
 * I have searched and the only thing close is this thread
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-and-main-sidebar?replies=13](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-and-main-sidebar?replies=13)
 * I have tried all the items in the aforementioned thread to no avail.
 * I have wiped the domain off the server removing all files, databases and whathaveyou
   from existence and started over. Same problem.
 * This somehow seems to be server related as I can install WP3.5.1 on a different
   server from the same host with no issues.
 * Before I reach out to the host are there any specific settings I need to be using
   on the server for WP?

 * Probably not anything that you can change, no. Try adding `define('SCRIPT_DEBUG',
   true);`to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the `require_once`
   line).

 * Thanks…
 * Currently line 82 is define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, false); If I edit that and change
   to true there is no change. The issue persists.
 * You mention there is probably not anything I can change on the server. I do have
   complete control and can change the php.ini as needed. The server currently hosts
   sites with X-Cart, vBulletin 3.8 and 4.2. These all work with no issues.

 * Then I’m at a bit of a loss to explain this. Is the drag’n’drop of widgets that
   only things that’s been affected?

 * There is only 1 plugin installed, Is Your Server Ready for WordPress 3.5 ?. This
   is a fresh install of WP 3.5.1 using the default theme. No content has been added.
 * The included plugins have not been activated.
 * If it helps the server has PHP 5.3.19 with MySQL version: 5.1.68-cll according
   to the Is Your Server Ready for WordPress 3.5 ? plugin.
 * Since these pass muster and if I updated to PHP 5.4.x or MySQL 5.5.x I’d break
   other things on the server we will not be updating PHP or MySQL for now.

 * Try [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.

 * I have seen and tried the resetting the plugins folder before. I did try yet 
   again and this still did not resolve the issue.
 * I do appreciate the support, thanks.
