It was one of the plugins I was using - WPMarketer. Since deactivating it, everything seems to be working fine. .-= Gerri´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NinetyNineWays/~3/5bolsSOY3kE/will-2degrees-be-the-answer-to-cheaper-mobile-calls-in-new-zealand.html" rel="nofollow">Will 2degrees Be The Answer To Cheaper Mobile Calls in New Zealand?</a> =-.

I don't know what theme you're using, but I use Thesis and they always issue updates when new WordPress releases come out so as to ensure compatibility.One of the problems you've described (widgets) was a problem that the Thesis guys needed to address in the latest Thesis version because they didn't work in the previous version with 2.8 - meaning that the widgets problem was a theme problem.Unfortunately I'm not a coder (actually that should probably be 'fortunately' :) ) so I don't know what fixes they had to put in place - but it would be worth checking your theme for compatibility with WP 2.8.I hope WP 2.8.1 and making sure your theme's compatible will fix those problems!Cheers,Martin. Gerri, hi,

That’s bad news – I’m sorry you’re having hassles.

WordPress have acknowledged that some problems exist with 2.8 and 2.8.1 is currently in Beta 2 release, so my guess is that the official release of 2.8.1 will be out in a week or so.

However, your theme could also be a cause of some of the problems. I don’t know what theme you’re using, but I use Thesis and they always issue updates when new WordPress releases come out so as to ensure compatibility.

One of the problems you’ve described (widgets) was a problem that the Thesis guys needed to address in the latest Thesis version because they didn’t work in the previous version with 2.8 – meaning that the widgets problem was a theme problem.

Unfortunately I’m not a coder (actually that should probably be ‘fortunately’ :) ) so I don’t know what fixes they had to put in place – but it would be worth checking your theme for compatibility with WP 2.8.

I hope WP 2.8.1 and making sure your theme’s compatible will fix those problems!

Example, if I click on any of the down arrows (any of them) nothing happens. In widgets, I can’t move them to the particular sidebar I want to edit and it is beginning to frustrate me that that is happening. One thing I am glad about is that I only upgraded to 2.8 on my test blog and not my other Wordpress blogs (I have to thank you for that). I am going to try and put some time aside today to work on try and figure out what is going on. .-= Gerri´s last blog post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NinetyNineWays/~3/Fqpn8pwJqMk/making-money-as-a-stay-at-home-mum-win-a-copy-of-give-it-a-go-by-sonia-williams.html" rel="nofollow">Making Money as a Stay at Home Mum | Win a Copy of ‘Give it a GO’ by Sonia Williams</a> =-.
