Problem installing widgets in Mistylook theme
-
If you have accessibility mode turned on from the screen options tab at appearance > widgets then the “add” link will appear at the right end of the widget title bars. For some browsers such as IE, that seems to the only way to get them to work on the widgets page, and it actually seems to be more stabile when you have accessibility mode turned on.

Thanks Sacredpath.
I disabled accessibility mode and that allows me to click and drag and gets rid of the “add” on the title bar. I did that for “categories”, dragged into sidebar then saved but when I visit site “categories” do not appear and when I go back to the Widgets page, the “categories” widget has disappeared from the sidebar.

OK, I’ve had some issues with the widgets page similar to what you are describing. Drag the categories widget over to the sidebar, move it around till the grey outlined box appears and then you can release the mouse button. Click the “save” link, then click the “close” link, and then force refresh that page before going to your blog. If after force refreshing the page the categories widget disappears, drag it over again and save and close, then again refresh the widgets page. If after refreshing it still appears in the “sidebar” then you can go to your blog and it should be there. Make sure and force refresh your main blog page as well just in case your browser is looking at a cached version of the page.

No, I have tried that for the last hour. It doesn’t work I’m afraid. The dragged, saved and closed categories widget always disappears when I force refresh the page. I will keep trying but it doesn’t look like that’s going to work.
