  Hi there,

  To fix this issue you may need to try two steps.

  First, please sign out of wordpress.com, then clear the browser cache.

  (Instructions can be found in the link below.)

  Secondly, when you log back in, press ctrl and f5 on the widgets page.

  If this doesn’t work I’m sure the happiness engineers would be more than happy to help. you can reach them by following the link below.

  I get what you see below no matter which widget I choose. Then nothing. It doesn’t allow me to make any changes or edits.

  Widget Gallery

  Select both the sidebar for this widget and the position of the widget in that sidebar.

  Sidebar Position
  Primary Sidebar

  Front Page 1

  Front Page 2

  Footer 3

  Thanks. What’s the site address (URL) and the theme?
