dashboard-widgets page doesn't work anymore

  • Unknown's avatar

    accessed my WP dashboard from another computer too and the widget page is messed-up, but from my phone (windows mobile) the widget dashboard is displayed correctly.

    Yes, so this suggests that the different script and/or CSS that WordPress uses for small-screen mobile phones is still working okay, but that the standard script and/or CSS that they use for normal computers does not work all right.
    As I have no smartphone, I can not check if the site still does work allright on a phone here. But your info only confirms my idea that there’s something wrong at the WordPress side, not at our side.

    Henk, I really hope that the problem is at the WP, cause I dont know what else can we do to fix it.

    @sandraoxford
    You asked about plugins and the Structure theme. Pease read this article Introduction to the Structure theme, http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/introduction-to-structure/ so you comprehend how the version we have is designed to operate at WordPress.com.
    Then please read this entry do you know that there is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install plugins. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Hello,

    I have the same promlem at http://djaktief.wordpress.com theme selecta

    Yeah, it definitely seems to be a problem on WordPress.com’s side, we’re all using different themes, browsers, different blogs, and it seemed to happen at the same time. Hmm.
    I can’t imagine it being linked to any paid upgrade, because that shouldn’t really alter the dashboard’s html/css, but it isn’t happening to everyone (apparently,) so I’m stumped. I’ve tried everything I can think of.
    Of course, I can still blog, but it’s a bit of an inconvenience especially as I’ve just redesigned my whole site and still need to tinker with the widgets.
    Looks like we’ll be waiting until Monday guys :/ Let’s hope they figure it out. Definitely not our problem. x

    my guess is about java. I had some almost similar problems with this kind of display on the new myphpadmin interface. it’s an automatic script who detect the monitor display then show us the way it suppose to be excepting now… I really miss the old school instead of those “smart” scripts that crashes very easy.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yes, I think you’re right seeing as those applets/scripts work on the Java platform. I’ve tried re-installing Java myself, even tried upgrading to Java 7 (work in progress,) but nothing. Likely to still be on WordPress’ end.

    I’m having a widget problem myself: the widget page is all intact but I am trying to activate the image widget and am able to drag it over, get the pop-up box and fill out all the EXACT needed criteria there, doing exactly what is called for but then when I click on “save” nothing happens. And it never appears on my blog…I’ve done this over and over again, trying any new little “glich” I can think of, but still nothing. It is so frustrating….Does anybody out there have any tips on this default, or is it likely another wordpress technicality? Any advice or insight would be much appreciated.

    @Unsungpoet I think this is a completely different problem, you’re more likely to get your answer in a new thread specifically for your issue :)

    Not only widgets but also menus is messed up!
    Lets wait monday and lets hope they will figure out

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have the same issues with the widget page, really frustrating.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Same thing, dashboard & widgets page. Using the latest Firefox and having the same problem in a probably not up to date version of Chrome..

  • Unknown's avatar

    so what will we do ? Where should we report this ?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Well, I sent a message to WordPress support on Friday night, I’m hoping they’ll pick it up or read this thread tomorrow :( x

    Hi all
    My webmaster fixed the problem for my site and sent the patch to WordPress. Sorry I don’t know the details of the fix, but I imagine it will be working by tomorrow.

    Same problem here.. Widgets and custom menu look like one long list, there is no way to drag and drop anything into place. This messed up my sub-menus and the order of items. Very annoying, but in a way relieving that i am not the only one….

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yeah its not just the widget page, everythings gone a little bit funny – but looks like its happening to quite a few people, so it must be a wordpress issue. No doubt they’ll sort it out Monday.

    I have noticed that its getting worse – more and more things are going strange.

    The same problems here. dashboard widgets and custom menu acting weird
