  What’s happened with the widgets page in admin? It’s changed in appearance and there are no edit features. There doesn’t seem to be any way to change the text etc.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s new, but the edit feature isn’t gone. Widget title bar > right end > click arrow.

  Oh, I see there’s another related thread on this. I’ll make my comment here though:

  From reading the other thread I’ve now worked out how to edit the widgets under this new layout, but why have you made it so hard to find the edit button?

  Also, why are there no titles to the text widgets? There should be, otherwise it’s guess work when you want to edit them.

  Finally, when you change something you should make it easier and simpler to use. Otherwise why change it? I’d like to see the titles restored please.

  I agree, but please note you’re talking to volunteers, i.e. fellow bloggers, not wordpress staff. Post this complaint in the Ideas section (which is for suggestions to staff), or contact Support.
