    Hello,

    I am having an issue with widget area and text widgets. I click on the dropdown arrow but the text does not display to edit?

    Please advise.

    Hey weddingmuseum,

    Is the text being shown on the front-end?

    Best regards,

    #808070

    Yes the text is showing on the front end.. The text editor is not showing for the text widget only.

    Hi,

    Have you tried disabling active plugins to rule out any kind of conflicts?

    I have just paused all plugins at the same time and am still am not able to edit text widgets. As you can see from the attached image, there is nothing in the text widget.

    Hi,

    I can see the problem, thanks. This is likely a plugin conflicting with WordPress and has nothing to do with the theme. You said that deactivating plugins made no difference, do you mind if we have a go?

    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.

    #810756

    Yes if you wish to have a go, please do. However, please reactivate all plugins.

    #810767

    Hi,

    I deactivated all plugins but that seems to have made no difference, which leads me to think that the content in one of the widgets is causing problems. Could you try to delete them and recreate them maybe?

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    #810964

    I know you looked at WeddingMuseum’s site and not mine, but I don’t think your suggestion of deleting the widgets and recreating them is going to work. In my footer I have text visible from a text widget that isn’t even showing up in the widgets section, meaning I can’t delete it.

    Personally. I just need to change the value of some text (address update) that’s in the ‘invisible’ text widget. Is there a file I could edit directly to do so?

    #811116

    Hi all,

    There are errors in /wp-admin/widgets.php, in which theres is JavaScript code, that handles widgets

    Which php are you running? Could you add another text widget as a test, but before that enable debug into log (https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/debugging-wordpress-how-to-use-wp_debug/
    ) and send the logs to us.

    Best regards,
    Victoria

    I am running PHP 5.6.30. Here are the errors I see. https://www.screencast.com/t/aVySyo2jpLdM

    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

    We are having the same problem
    in the widget area the place where we usually go into the text widget content is missing.
    It is showing in the front-end
    http://www.tcm-team.at

    #811703

    Could everyone list out there system settings such as PHP version, MySQL version, WordPress version, etc to try and help support narrow down what is causing some obvious incompatibility somewhere? I doubt the hosting matters, but I’m on GoDaddy Managed WordPress.

    #811794

    I have 6 sites wth this theme and different hosting with same issue, so no, hosting is not the issue:
    Apache Version 2.4.25
    PHP Version 5.6.30
    MySQL Version 5.6.35
    Wordpress: 4.8.

    I will try and delete all the widgets and re-add – will advise as I need to be sure I have a copy of all of them first.

    #812087

    Hi,

    You might wan to look at this article
    http://pinkeyegraphics.co.uk/blog/index.php/2015/06/21/wordpress-menu-and-widget-editing

    “Edit WordPress widgets without using the dropdown admin interface:

    Use this custom URL to turn on a hidden widget editing mode that allows you to edit widgets one by one and save them.

    http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/widgets.php?widgets-access=on

    This then persists until such time as you turn it off. Once widgets are edited, turn off editing mode like this:

    http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/widgets.php?widgets-access=off

    Replace ‘yoursite.com’ with your site’s address – or just go to the widget editing page and edit the URL directly in your address bar. ”

    You could try editing your widgets like that and see if that works.

    Best regards,
    Victoria

    #812377

    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’ src=’http://f62.e9f.myftpupload.com/wp-content/plugins/better-font-awesome/vendor/mickey-kay/better-font-awesome-library/lib/fontawesome-iconpicker/dist/js/fontawesome-iconpicker.min.js&#8217; defer=’defer’></script>
    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://f62.e9f.myftpupload.com/wp-admin/js/editor.min.js&#8217; defer=’defer’></script>
    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://f62.e9f.myftpupload.com/wp-admin/js/widgets/text-widgets.min.js&#8217; defer=’defer’></script>
    <script type=’text/javascript’>
    wp.textWidgets.init();
    </script>

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

    #813836

    Is this issue still active? I haven’t seen a resolution.

    Others, did the support suggestion of using ‘http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/widgets.php?widgets-access=on&#8217; work for you?

    Has anyone found a different solution? Three of us (at least) are having a problem….it has to be a bug somewhere in the theme….

    #813842

    Hey!

    Can you please try adding following to wp-config.php file

    
    define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);

    and check if that helps?

    Cheers!
    Yigit

    #814005

    Hi Yigit. I added your code to wp-config and have the same issue still.

    #814046

    As a followup, I was able to add a text widget with the following plugin. Maybe this will help you solve the issue. https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-text-widget/. However, I added Javascript and the widget does not display correctly. I wonder if Javascript inside the widget area is not the cause? Maybe the JS in the widget is causing a break in WP? I do have adsense ads in the widget area on another site and cannot see the text area in text widgets too????

    I have spoken to some people at WP and they know this is an issue with WP 4.8.

    #814730

    Hi,

    Thank you very much for updating us also.
    We do appreciate it a lot

    Best regards,
    Basilis

    #818224

    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.

    #818755

    Hi chrisguess,

    Here are some things to consider:
