 * I’m currently jumping into a theme that a previous developer had been working
   on. It’s harmony 2.0 and all the javascript is broken!!!
 * i can’t update widgets, and when i hover over sidebar none of the fly outs (using
   show/hide) aren’t working!
 * I can’t update widgets and/or settings of widgets.
 * thanks

 * It’s definitely this theme; have you tried with all plugins deactivated?

 * yes actually i have, nothing happened. i also switched the elegance theme to 
   2012 and everything was fixed. What could cause this error within the theme? 
   I’m okay with programming and pretty avid with wordpress so any help would be
   appreciated

 * When you update widgets can you check your browser’s console log for errors?
