Title: WordPress widgets Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # WordPress widgets * Resolved [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/) * I installed a WordPress widget called “Arbitrary text and HTML” onto the footer of my newsmagazine [http://www.buellreview.com](http://www.buellreview.com) and the widget is called “BlogRoll” and only one name listed “www.newsninja2012.com. I want to either eliminate or alter this widget, and add to it in the text box, but I can’t find it and I did disable all my JetPack plugins, so it isn’t one of those! How do I get to where this widget is?

If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). * – switching to the default 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. * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691395) * I can’t get this to work either! nothing is happening with print screen! * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691396) * Yes Esmi. I did this! The whole right hand side of my WordPress dashboard is MISSING! * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691397) * Yes Esmi, I tried deactivating my plugins. that didn’t help a thing. my problem is not with plugins, my problem is with WordPress! The wole right side of my dashboard on the widget page is missing. It went down after my website went live and I’ve been having problems ever since! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691409) * > my problem is not with plugins, my problem is with WordPress! * No – this problem is specific to _your_ site. So we need to troubleshoot _your _site. Did you carry out all of the steps I suggested above? * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691421) * Yes. * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691424) * BUT I used to have a right hand side bar on mmy dashboard that showed the layout of the widgets and once my site went live, this has disappeared too. I’ve been trying to take a screen shot of my dashboard page because I’m not sure anyone understands what I’m talking about. I have a windows 8 machine. * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691427) * The right hand side is where I could drag and drop my widgets and accessories for my website. it’s gone. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691429) * Can we see your site using the 2012 theme and no active plugins? * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691433) * Ok, let me switch to that. * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691436) * Ok, it’s up in Twenty Twelve. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691439) * Now please deactivate ALL of your plugins. * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691440) * Ok, it’s up in Twenty Twelve format * Thread Starter [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * (@mrbenz7) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/2/#post-3691443) * Ok. done Jetpack is disabled and my plugins are a:0:[] Viewing 15 replies - 16 through 30 (of 108 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/?output_format=md) 2 [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/3/?output_format=md)… [6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/6/?output_format=md) [7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/7/?output_format=md) [8](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/8/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/3/?output_format=md) The topic ‘WordPress widgets’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 108 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [mrbenz7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbenz7/) * Last activity: [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-widgets-2-2/page/8/#post-3691703) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
