   to the widget page, drag the required widget into the side bar and most times
   that is it, can’t open the header. It just sits there frozen. On occassion I 
   have been able to open he header, click on save and still it doesn’t save, won’t
   show up on the page. when I refresh the widget page, it has disappeared.
    It’s
   driving me nuts and I’m just asting time going back and forwrd trying to get 
   it to work HELP! Website [http://www.mysticbusinessgoddess.com.au](http://www.mysticbusinessgoddess.com.au)

 * Hi [@aputting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aputting/),
 * > Since a recent upgrade I have not been able to add or change any widgets.
 * Can you tell me what you have upgraded? Plugin, theme or WordPress?
 * I checked your site [http://www.mysticbusinessgoddess.com.au/](http://www.mysticbusinessgoddess.com.au/)
   and found the JavaScript error in your browser console generated by “Contact 
   Us Page Builder” plugin. The plugin [http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-contactpage-designer/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-contactpage-designer/)
   is only compatible up to WordPress version 3.3.2 and not with the latest version
   of WordPress.
 * Can you just disable this plugin and check whether Widgets are working fine or
   not?
 * If it doesn’t help you then Can you try enabling [WP_DEBUG](http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG)
   mode and debug logging? To do this, just go to wp-config.php include this:
 *     ```
       define('WP_DEBUG',true);
       define('WP_DEBUG_LOG',true);
       ```
   
 * You might already have a line for WP_DEBUG, so just make sure it’s set to true.
   This will create a log file under wp-content/debug.log with detailed information.
 * If you’d like to avoid end users seeing error messages, you can include this 
   as well:
 * @ini_set(‘display_errors’,0);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);
 * This will prevent errors from being displayed, but you can still find them in
   the log file. For information on this, [checkout this wpmu.org article](http://wpmu.org/debugging-wordpress-how-to-use-wp_debug/).
 * Also check the javascript console for errors. In Chrome go to “View -> Developer-
   > Javascript Console” and in Firefox you can go to “Tools -> Web Developer ->
   Console”
 * Let me know what errors if any you are getting!
 * Best Regards,

 * I’m having the same problem! I’m trying to design a website and everything was
   working fine until I started MAMP today. No widgets will save.

 * Hi [@mygirlfriendswardrobe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mygirlfriendswardrobe/),
 * I hope you are well today and thanks for posting on the forums.
 * Ideally its not a good process to post on a thread 8 months old. The WordPress
   has changed since 🙂
 * To help keep support tickets separate, could you please open a new thread for
   your new question?
 * This might also help other members looking for a similar answer and also as per
   the [Forum Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome), you should post
   your own topic. 🙂
 * Have a fantastic day!
 * Cheers,
    WPMU DEV
