i have created a staging site on siteground (our hosting) and have disabled every plugin. i still get the jquery error and in the console here’s the first bit of the error message.

you can login with the same userid. the url is listed in the private content

is this being looked into at all? I don’t think it is a problem with WP 4.8…it would seem to me that the theme needs to be updated to incorporate changes purposely made in WP 4.8

https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/05/23/addition-of-tinymce-to-the-text-widget/

new media widgets don’t work in my theme (how to fix) – https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/coherent/1.0.6/js/coherent.js?rev=77395#L88

from the debug console on my site, i see errors related to the new media widgets. so, if those are causing errors and the full theme code is not loading properly, couldn’t that be causing a problem of the text widget not showing up?

And while the classic-text-widget plugin does appear to let me add NEW text widgets, i cannot delete an existing text widget because it is not visible. That’s a problem.

the above suggestion did not work for me at all. It just gives me a page that says “are you sure you want to do this?” with no choices.

I found a plugin that disables widgets. As I disable widgets, the exceptions and errors shown in the console go away. I’ve disable ones i don’t care about, such as audio and video, but I kind of really need the text widget. With that active i still get the following exception:

Uncaught ReferenceError: wp is not defined at widgets.php:149

my widgets.php file @ lines 144 – 149 (149 in bold) is:

<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://f62.e9f.myftpupload.com/wp-content/plugins/better-font-awesome/vendor/mickey-kay/better-font-awesome-library/js/admin.js&#8217; defer=’defer’></script>

<script type=’text/javascript’>
wp.textWidgets.init();
</script>

So, is some sort of js file not being loaded properly?

I’ve done the steps to turn on debugging and logging but i don’t see a debug.log file in wp-content directory as the page you linked to said would occur. I did, however, install a plugin called Debug This that will show up in the admin bar on pages (doesn’t seem to load on dashboard/admin pages), so hopefully that will be helpful.

Here are my system status settings:

Home URL: http://f62.e9f.myftpupload.com
Site URL: http://f62.e9f.myftpupload.com
WP Version: 4.8
WP Multisite Enabled: No
Web Server Info: Apache
PHP Version: 5.6.30
MySQL Version: 5.6.32

Here is the relevant part of my wp-config.php file

/**
* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
*
* For information on other constants that can be used for debugging,
* visit the Codex.
*
* @link https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
*/
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
//define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );
require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/gd-config.php’ );
define( ‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);
define(‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’, (0705 & ~ umask()));
define(‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’, (0604 & ~ umask()));

The ‘debug this’ plugin provides lots of information. i clicked on PHP -> WP Debug Log and this is the result

I have the same exact issue. I can see text in my footer, but when i look at the footer, there is either NO text widget to edit or the text widget showing a column title (like Contact Us) is there but cannot be edited. I’ve included the URL & login info in the private content area.
