Twnety Twelve or re-installing WordPress. * Thread Starter [mikeoffy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeoffy/) * (@mikeoffy) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-locked-2/#post-3270109) * Thanks but did you even read my post? I does work with other default themes and i did reinstall with the same results. Thanks for replying though. * [tomontoast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomontoast/) * (@tomontoast) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-locked-2/#post-3270111) * Oops sorry. Themeforest is a directory of themes but they don’t create the themes themselves. You will need to contact the actual theme developer to get this problem fixed. * Thread Starter [mikeoffy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeoffy/) * (@mikeoffy) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-locked-2/#post-3270114) * I understand that they do not develop the themes. I have talked to my theme creator and they said it is not there issue. * I checked my browser console and here are some errors I am getting. * SEC7115: :visited and :link styles can only differ by color.

The author box is usually on the right hand side of the theme page there. * **Edit:** DOH! I’m too slow. Read below anyway. 😉 * It could be a javascript issue. Give the [Master List a good read](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-35-master-list?replies=4) and try enabling the debug console on your browser. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors) * If you do see js errors when you move widgets try adding this line to your `wp- config.php` file and see if it gets better. * ``` define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true); ``` * Make a backup copy of your `wp-config.php` file first. * [tomontoast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomontoast/) * (@tomontoast) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-locked-2/#post-3270120) * In this case without having the page which I can look at and debug I can’t help a lot. Those errors are fairly trivial and would not cause the script to not work. Have you tried using a different browser? * Thread Starter [mikeoffy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeoffy/) * (@mikeoffy) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-locked-2/#post-3270121) * Jan I followed that info before I posted here. The funny thing is when i added define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true); it did get a little better. I was able to open my widgets in the right hand columnn but i still could not move any new ones over to that colummm they seem to just be locked. No drop or drag features at all. * I do get this error in all browsers. * The theme is Celetinoby [http://yithemes.com/](http://yithemes.com/) * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-locked-2/#post-3270122) * Yep, it’s this one. * [http://themeforest.net/item/celestino-clean-and-creative-portfolio-theme/3183494](http://themeforest.net/item/celestino-clean-and-creative-portfolio-theme/3183494) * Author is [http://themeforest.net/user/Sara_p](http://themeforest.net/user/Sara_p) * > The funny thing is when i added define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true); it did get a > little better. * A little better?

That’s a tough one. Short of getting the theme vendor to troubleshoot, I think we’ve hit the practical limit of support here. * All I can suggest is doing as you’ve done: pointing out that it works with Twenty Eleven and not with that theme to the author. * Thread Starter [mikeoffy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeoffy/) * (@mikeoffy) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-locked-2/#post-3270126) * Ok thanks for help Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘Widgets locked’ is closed to new replies. * 12 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [mikeoffy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeoffy/) * Last activity: [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-locked-2/#post-3270126) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
