# Widgets not expanding

 * I just upgraded to 3.5.1. Now the ‘Wiget Area’ isn’t working. By not working 
   I mean I have the following issues:
    – cannot drag and drop widgets – cannot 
   expand widget menus (It does still work in ‘Accessibility Mode’.)
 * I’ve disabled all plugins and the problem persists. I temporarily switched to
   the default theme and the problem cleared up. So I’m thinking it’s a theme conflict.
   I don’t have access to the upgraded theme, or FTP. Is there any I can fix this?
   It is the “Nyx” theme if that helps.

 * It’s actually a site I’m doing some customization work on for somebody. (It’s
   their theme. I’m not sure where it was purchased. I think ThemeForest.) I just
   emailed the person to see if they can get an upgraded theme in hopes that clears
   up the problem. I will post here when I find out.
 * Thank you for the quick reply.
