Title: Update breaks widgets Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Update breaks widgets * [loudliger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loudliger/) * (@loudliger) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-breaks-widgets/) * I updated on a site today, and after doing so, the Widget editor in the admin panel broke. Could’t open any of the widget areas or drag any widgets. I revert to 0.8.7 and everything works fine. Would like to know if this gets fixed so that I can update. * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ui/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ui/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [kavingray](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kavingray/) * (@kavingray) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-breaks-widgets/#post-4106285) * Hi there, Just checked here and not able to reproduce the problem. Are you on WP 3.6? * Please try the following. 1) Does disabling widgets ( Options -> General -> Uncheck widgets ) solve the problem? 2) Do you have any of the WP UI widget ( posts or manual ) already dragged onto the sidebar? * If using chrome, Please right click anywhere, choose Inspect Element -> Click on console tab, and post ( or mail me ) a screenshot. * Thread Starter [loudliger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loudliger/) * (@loudliger) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-breaks-widgets/#post-4106291) * Yes. 3.6 Here’s the rundown: * Theme: Celestial Pro (the original, not reloaded) by Styled Themes * EDIT: I’m also using a Child Theme, but nothing fancy or weird going on there. Just a few changes to the blog template and some CSS. * Plugins: Advanced Code Editor Advanced Text Widget BackupBuddy Browser Specific CSS Column Shortcodes Installer (for WPML) JetPack (for Publicize and Stats) Post Snippets Responsive Slider Special Recent Posts FREE Edition Ultimate TinyMCE Widget Logic WordPress Database Reset (should probably delete this — don’t need it any more) WordPress Importer WordPress SEO WPML CMS Nav WPML Multilingual CMS WPML Sticky Links WPML String Translation WPML Translation Management WP UI – Tabs, accordions and more (that’s you!) * The problem is definitely related to WP UI and it’s definitely a result of this update. Removing the plugin immediately solved the problem, and the problem does not occur when I revert to the previous version of the plugin. * Thanks. * Plugin Author [kavingray](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kavingray/) * (@kavingray) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-breaks-widgets/#post-4106293) * Please try the following. 1) Does disabling widgets ( Options -> General -> Uncheck widgets ) solve the problem? 2) Do you have any of the WP UI widget ( posts or manual ) already dragged onto the sidebar? * If using chrome, Please right click anywhere, choose Inspect Element -> Click on console tab, and post ( or mail me ) a screenshot. * Thread Starter [loudliger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loudliger/) * (@loudliger) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-breaks-widgets/#post-4106295) * Ok. I will have to do this tomorrow because right now I am updating the site ( which is live) and it’s working fine with 0.8.7. Would definitely like to keep up to date, so I will do what you suggest tomorrow. * Plugin Author [kavingray](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kavingray/) * (@kavingray) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-breaks-widgets/#post-4106458) * [@loudliger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loudliger/) – Check the GitHub version and see if the issue is resolved. * Direct download – [https://github.com/kavingray/WP-UI/zipball/master](https://github.com/kavingray/WP-UI/zipball/master) * Repo – [https://github.com/kavingray/WP-UI/](https://github.com/kavingray/WP-UI/) * Thanks for the patience. * Thread Starter [loudliger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loudliger/) * (@loudliger) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-breaks-widgets/#post-4106504) * I’ll check it out and let you know, thanks. I tried to recreate the same issue on my server because I know the client won’t be happy if I recreate it on his live site. Wasn’t able to do so — not sure why it would make a difference what server I’m on. I’m going to wait until the middle of the night one day and test out the github one on his server.
