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> =-.

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! Cheers, Martin. Gerri, hi,

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> =-.
