Look how old this is! I post at SearchCommander.com now, and this post was published 13 years 7 months 21 days ago. This industry changes FAST, so blindly following the advice here *may not* be a good idea! If you're at all unsure, feel free to hit me up on Twitter and ask.
There is something wrong the widget behavior when I log into a few sites, but ONLY with my own login credentials, and the drag and drop features don’t seem to work.
Not only is drag and drop disabled, but there is a completely different interface for each and every widget, forcing me to manually choose the location of the widget I want to edit, and it happens no matter what browser or computer I log in from.
Ever seen this before?
Once I hit edit, these are the sort of options I see…
My programmer thought I was insane, because she could not see anything wrong at all, and it wasn’t until I logged in as her that I realized the problem was just with my own username.
This is happening on three or four different sites, and in the video below, you can plainly see what’s going on. Does anyone know why? If I find an answer I’ll post it here, but hopefully, someone else can steer me in the right direction…
Try this to see if it solves the problem:
Login to the wp-admin > Appearance > Widgets. Click the Screen Options in the very top right of the wp-admin and see if you see “Disable accessibility mode”. If you do, click it and see if the widgets return to normal.
Yep, That was it! Thank you Heather…
