  Hi, trying to access my widgets in order to fix a few of them after cox removed thier webhosting this week…

  But everytime I click the link, the site loads indefinitely. When its finally finished and it takes a lonnnnng time, my personal widgets (active and inactive) arent showing, nor is my task bar, or however youd refer to it at the top of the screen… like the wordpress bar with the stats graph….

  Is there something wrong WordPress-wide or is my blog having unique issues?

  Ok, thank you for the lightning fast response.

  However, I cleared my cache and cookies. Rebooted my machine. Still got the Same exact deal.

  Slow to load, get a generic page with none of my currrently active personal widgets.

  Also tried logging on via Firefox instead of IE. Same drill.

  Just to be sure, do you mean you have the trouble at Appearance -> Widgets in your blog’s Dashboard?

  Yes.. .

  Whether I attempt to access the widgets page from the drop down menu in the “Top Bar”, or go to the Dashboard and then Appearance -> Widgets, the result is the same.

  LONG delay. Then failure to load any of my widgets currently active.

  I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that the image widgets (and I had several) are all linking now to dead addresses? Although why that wouldnt affect my frontpage too, I dont know. Regardless, this issue began the same night Cox ended support for their webhosting.

  I have no idea if anyone ELSE can access my Dashboard, etc… if WordPress “Happiness Engineers” have the ability, say. But if so, perhaps you could see if you could access the page?

  I just tried again this morning. The same result. Takes five minutes or so to pull upand wont show me any of the widgets I currently have active. Also, the widgets box that DOES load (the generic available and inactive boxes load) dont work. There’s no sidebar area on the right to drag them to. I tried to move them/drag them and it doesnt work. They’re static.
