Please help. can't change widgets in wordpress

[TylerAbernethy]

hey everyone,

i am having a weird problem.

for some reason. all of a sudden (without me changing ANYTHING) my widget page in the admin dashboard will not let me edit anything

what i mean is, i login, go to the widgets page, and then the dropdown menus that you drag widgets into will not let me expand to drop widgets in them.

was there a wordpress update i missed?

who should i contact?

what if i delete the theme and re-install. will i have to change ALL the settings back again?

Have you been to the Wordpress forums with your issue?

They're usually really helpful.

Thanks, they helped me within an hour this morning after I saw your response.

It turned out to be a problem with one of my plugins "Simple Countdown Timer"

So I had to delete it.

Problem solved though!

Thanks again,

Tyler Abernethy

Glad to hear you got it fixed.  I had a similar issue last week on one of my client's sites which was to do with Widget Logic plugin update not working correctly.  I discovered it in the middle of the night and had to spend 2 hours going to the forums to fix the site - so I know how you feel ;).

Still, it all adds to our learnings.
