I have an issue with a wordpress theme that I'm using, where I cannot add widgets to the sidebars. The drag and drop function does not work.
I am able to move widgets around in other themes.
I was wondering what kind of code in the theme may be causing such an issue?
I have tried to fix this by adding a Google plugin, but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Are there any plusgin that allow me to edit widget without the drag and drop functionality needed by default?
This is a common problem with themes that don't correctly enqueue jQuery. Switch to the twentytwelve theme and see if widgets work; if so, it's your theme. (It could also be a plugin problem.)
You need to
use Firebug with Firefox, or use the developer tools in Chrome or Safari or IE to see what javascript is loading on your site and any errors.
Ask the theme developer if you can't debug javascript. The error you see undefined' is not an object is too vague to figure out without much more info.
I had a similar problem - found out that by deactivating the feedburner plugin it got resolved. Some kind of possible conflict there - see if disabling any plugins would help?

The Divi theme builder keeps loading when enabled in any pages. I updated the WordPress, Divi and PHP although the problem persists. Can anyone help me solve the issue.
Try the safe mode from dashboard > Divi > Support option.
Enable Safe Mode, sometimes 3rd party plugins or server causes this issue.
If you have purchased the Divi theme, you should be able to get direct support from Elegant Themes regarding this.
I am guessing the firs thing they will ask you to do is disable all of your plugins to see if the issue goes away when you do. If so, you can re-enable them one by one to isolate which plugin conflicts.
I have installed the same "WP google Translate" plugin on 2 websites. I have noticed that on one of the websites the plugin's pre-set colors and images (flags) are gone (http://prntscr.com/jqdxpx) while on other website all is ok (http://prntscr.com/jqdyc4). I have tried to disable all plugins except this one, but no luck. Also tried to overwrite this plugin from the website where this plugin forks well but no luck. I noticed that any changes to the appearance I make in the settings of this plugin does no effect for it. Any ideas what could cause such behavior?
Do you have the same Theme on both websites? Maybe the theme css is overriding the plugin css?
The best approach to check whats going on, is to use a browser debugger tool.
I use chrome. Hover with your mouse over the problem element, right click and choose 'Inspect'. Chrome dev tools will open and the element is selected. You can then see the Styles (css) that are active for that element.
Do this for both websites and compare the styles that are active.
You will then know the cause of the problem and go on from that point.
p.s. if you need any help you have to share the url's, so i can check for you.

I have a huge problem with my wordpress dashboard display. After I upgrade to wordpress 4.5 my dashboard gone crazy.... its seems like it is not displaying css correctly. Its really killing me cause I could not write any article ...which very bad for my website. My dashboard looks like:
This is what seems to be the problem:
I tried everything. First I thought that is might be chrome's problem. I deleted history/cache ...etc. Not working. Then I deleted chrome and reinstalled it. Not worked. Then I used firefox, opera,internet explorer ... not worked. I put one friend of mine to look... it seems also the same to him. Then, I deleted wordpress 4.5 core file (wp-admin, wp-include) from ftp and installed back wordpress 4.4.2 and it looks the same..... I'm really desperate. I sought help on wordpress official website.... nobody helped me.... its crucial for me to solve this problem I really live with site's help. I really don't have any idea to solve it. This is killing me :(.
I appreciate any help.....
Add below code in wp-config.php file of your WordPress.
define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
It should solve your problem, you can read more details on below link.

jQuery is not defined errors usually indicate that jQuery hasn't been loaded at all, so then other scripts that depend on jQuery being present throw the error.
Where are you loading jQuery from? According to this issue someone had a problem where they were including jQuery from Google's CDN, and WordPress was trying to load a version of jQuery that wasn't present in Google's CDN.
A link to your site would be helpful - it's difficult to determine what all is going on from only that screenshot.
It also looks like your site isn't loading any of the CSS for the admin area. Have you doublechecked your WordPress address and Site Address options in the admin?
This might also be set in your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
If your WordPress Address (which is the same as WP_HOME) setting doesn't match the URL with which you're trying to access the WP admin area, then you'll see symptoms like your site is exhibiting, where CSS doesn't load properly and some javascript may be missing.
One more suggestion: try activating a different theme temporarily (such as Twenty Fifteen) and see if that fixes up the WP admin. You may have a conflict specific to your current theme package.
Take care of adding define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); at the top of declarations, after comments.
I created a wordpress theme from blank. But I have some problems. I installed Jetpack but Carousel is not working. If I select the twenty fifteen theme it is working. I also tried many lightbox plugins, but none of them work.
I think this problem is about function.php. What can I do to fix this?
There might be a javascript conflict on one of your plugins, and possibly, on your theme. To debug, first try to set your theme to twenty fifteen, after that deactivate all your plugins, except for the lightbox plugin that you're using. Check if the lightbox plugin is working. If it is, then start activating each plugin one a time. Everytime you activate a plugin, make sure to check the lightbox if it is working or not. If the lightbox stops working after a certain plugin is activated, then that could be a sign on conflict on the javascript.
Let me know if you we're able to do what I suggested. Also, it would be easier for others to help you if you can post a link to a site where you are trying to to install the lightbox.
I'm helping to develop a wordpress.ORG website (www.teloscares.org). The site is using a custom theme that I didn't develop (for the record, I know very, very little about php or css) and for some reason the theme is breaking our ability to view or leave comments. IS there any advice on how I can track down what about the themes .php files is breaking it or where I can look it up? Please feel free to point me in the right direction if it's not a quick, easy fix somehow. When I switch to the wordpress "2012" theme it works just fine, which is how I was able to determine that it was our theme. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
First of all disable all your plugins, see if that fixes the problem? If not then the problem is indeed with your theme. You can track down problems by enabling WP_DEBUG, you can do that in the wp-config.php file which you can find in the root of your WordPress installation directory.

EDIT
It appears that the OP's theme didn't have any comment functionality at all, so there wasn't anything wrong it just wasn't there. You can add the comment functionality yourself using comments_template()

You can use Disqus — it's widget is JS-based, has Wordpress integration, supports login with social network accounts and works fine
