 * Hi folks,
 * There seems to be something seriously wrong with the back end of the theme at
   the moment.
   My front page content widgets – the sliders – have completely vanished
   from the dashboard and customizer meaning they cannot ever be changed.A wordpress
   engineer informed me there is a glitch likely to have arisen from conflicts with
   wordpress updates. They tried to fix it but couldn’t.I think I’m about done with
   this theme. It looks good, has a great layout but the technical side is just 
   not optimised properly.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwidgets-cannot-be-edited%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello, 
   We have checked the slider widgets block in the latest version of WordPress
   and it is working fine. Could you please check once deactivating the active plugins?
   Also, could you please provide us with more details [here ](https://afthemes.com/supports/)
   regarding the issue so we could help you in a specific way?Thank you

 * IT seems to have resolved, though there seems better access when using the classic
   widget editor. Thanks.
