  I’m getting ready to change my theme and alot of my widgets don’t carry over so I have find a way to save my text widgets so that hopefully I’ll just be able to copy and paste them after I make the move. The problem is that when I go into my text widgets, I can’t edit, copy, or even high light any of the text.

  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this done?

  I think this may be a browser problem. What browser are you using?

  IE. It’s happened to others because I’ve read about here…

  Are you talking about this thread:

  or this one

  The first thread offers the browser change as a solution. The second one offers the solution of contacting support. If you have read these topics, you should have come across the solutions.

  They’re not really solutions. I was looking for directions on what I specifically, can with my blog so that I can fix it and carry on with my blogging but thanks,

  IE is the problem as lizii mentioned. Short of switching to Firefox 3, Safari 3, or possibly to Google Chrome, there are no other options. IE simply doesn’t work with the widgets here since the change to the new interface.
