Can't edit main body widgets – please help!
-
My issue is that I can’t edit the main body widgets any longer. When I bring up the ‘Customize Theme’ window, and click on the menu for widgets, the only widgets it shows for me to edit are the footers, but not the three main body widgets (two of which I update often and need to have access too). I am currently using the Sela theme. Can anyone help me with this?
The blog I need help with is thebabybookwormblog.wordpress.com.

If you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site any and all widgets can be added or removed here

Also, note that widgets have visibility settings that determine which pages they will be displayed on. See: Widget Visibility https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility
Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/sela and that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site is found.

Thank you very much, that enables me to edit the ones that need to be edited weekly, which solves the more pressing part of my problem.
Still, I don’t know why they are not displaying in the theme customizer. The visibility is not the issue: they are visible on the main page of the site, and even in the preview of the theme customizer, but they don’t not show up in the editing menus, and if I try to click on the “edit” icon next to them in the preview, nothing happens. Very strange.

There appears to be a glitch so I tagged this thread to give Staff a heads up on it as I have experienced several bloggers posting about this today.

Hi there,
Sorry to hear you’re having problems with this. It’s a known issue and our developers are currently looking into it.
Does the problem occur for you in both Internet Explorer and Chrome?
In the meantime, you can edit widgets in your WP Admin Dashboard. This link will take you straight through to the right place:
