immovable widgets and missing header
-
I have done the reloading and cookie dancing, logging and logging out. I have used firefox 2.0.0.7 and I am unable to move a single widget.
I’m using the Redoable Lite theme (no css customization) and the header I uploaded last night has vanished.
-
Update: I switched to IE7 and was able with extreme difficulty to remove a single widget. I tried uploading a header again unsuccessfully. I know staff do monitor these threads so if this is not resolved tomorrow then I will contact staff directly.

When you can’t move the widgets, it is usually because the javascript didn’t load completely on the page. If you continue to keep reloading the page does that help at all? Does it work in another blog?

That’s what I mean about extreme difficulty. I have repeatedly reloaded the pages. The widget I could not even move at all in ff2.7 I could move in IE7 but when doing so it would not drop – it kept springing back up into the sidebar box. I dragged it right over top of “save changes” and quickly clicked and it was removed (thank goodness).
Now I’ll check it out in another blog.
-
I signed in in another username and into a completely different blog and had the same experience with immovable widgets (same browsers as above).
-
It works for me right now….might just be something strange going on. I guess we will find out soon here if others are having the same problems. I hope it gets fixed quickly for you ttts.

Someone else reported this a couple of days ago. I’m wondering if it’s something to do with the new version of FF that just came out (and is causing a javascript error for me routinely, although I haven’t tried to fiddle with widgets yet). As I recall from that thread, there was at last checkin no resolution and he was advised to contact staff.

I just tried it on my blog with FF 2.0.0.7 (Mac) and it still works for me. I don’t know about Windows.

i posted into a thread last night about removing widgets, but my post has mysteriously disappeared.
Anyway, here’s what i posted: The behavior of the page has changed so that the user must drag the widget to the area at the top of the “Available Widgets” box in order to drop it and remove it. We used to be able to drop the widget anywhere over the “Available Widgets”, but now greater accuracy is required.
This may be just on Firefox, i don’t know.
Was my post removed because i mentioned that it made the page less accessible to those who are limited as far as dragging & dropping accuracy? Or was it removed because i made a comment in response to another user’s frustration about Friday changes (basically saying that it’s the way things usually work here)?

I have used 3 different browsers on two different computers and I’m not new to wordpress. I am conversant with how to remove widgets. This is a problem that requires staff attention. This morning I still have immovable widgets and my header which appears in my uploads is not appearing on my blog. http://thistimethisspace.wordpress.com/files/2007/09/redsatin.JPG
I’ve noticed a similar and perhaps related issue in this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=16005
I’m sending a a support ticket using the link above as the Support link on my blog does not work.

I do not have header problems but I also have immovable widgets on my blog. This “problem” occurred after the introduction of the tag cloud widgets. I put the tag cloud widget in my sidebar and have been unable to activate any widgets ever since. I have used firefox 2.0.0.7 and IE6 and 7 – all javascript enabled without any luck at all.
-
Today when I use my forefox 2.0.0.7 browser my widgets are still immovable. But when I switch to IE I can move them – today. This is bitter disappointment because I’m a firefox girl.
-
Whe I use IE on this blog what happens is that the widgets I try to drag and drop out of the sidebar box keep popping back up into it. It’s frustrating.
-
YES! today I can use firefox and my widgets have become movable again.
I’m throwing kisses to the geeks in the backend *** – thank you :) -
I have done the reloading and cookie dancing, logging and logging out. I use firefox 2.0.0.8 and I am unable to move widgets since two weeks. I have tried Internet Explorer. Always nothing. My friend has the same problem.

This is a “resolved” thread that I posted the link to in the first thread you posted to the forum. The other thread is all that is needed to bring this to staff attention. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=17325
