 * Since I began wordpress I cannot add widgets, categories, even when I go to add
   pictures (although it does let me, just gives me the error on pics) I get “an
   unidentified error has occured”.
    I can hardly edit my page at all. What gives
   and how to fix? (in english please, I don’t speak html-eze. 😉
 * I have the newest upgrade of wordpress as well if that helps.
    I also have another
   wordpress page that I run for the bridal association I’m a part of and have no
   problems with it at all. So, I know it’s not my computer.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

 * I have switched to the default theme and that did not work. How do you deactivate
   plugins and I will try? What if it is not a plugin problem?

 * You will need to download a [copy of WordPress](http://wordpress.org/download/)
   to your computer and unpack it. Then use [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)(
   or whatever file management software your host provides) to upload the folder
   called wp-admin over the same folder on your site
