Text Widgets in WP2.8 Problem

the widget should be saved once the “whirling circle” stops “whirling”.
at least that’s the behaviour on my recently upgraded install (using firefox 3.5 or opera 10 under linux).

Ok I will give this method a try.

No it did not work. It just whirled & whirled and then stopped so I pressed SAVE again and it whirled away but it does not show on the sidebar.

However, the text widget still retained the details I pasted in it. So that can be construed as progress?

Meanwhile – how can I get this WP2.8 widget glitch resolved?

Anyone?

I am having the same issue, however, I have not upgraded to WP 2.8 yet… is it possible a plug-in is causing the error as opposed to the upgrade? I am really frustrated as I’ve not been able to resolve the issue, hopefully someone can help. ??

I think the better solution is to seek external help. It’ll be quicker.

Not sure I know how to find external help…I’ve searched in all the places I could.

I’m using the Thesis theme (purchased in large part due to the great support I’d heard people talk about) and no one there has been able to help me either!

If I find a solution I’ll be sure to post back here though.

No support at Thesis support? I have had excellent support there. Keep nudging them.

I have the same problem. I checked the database after hitting Save and nothing is being written.

I would have thought this is a WordPress issue, rather than a Thesis one, perhaps where its javascript is not recognising its an IE 8 browser. IE8 and IE7 do have minor differences

I tried sticking the following line in admin-header.php file
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7″/> # trying to make IE8 behave like IE7 but to no avail.

I also tried adding a line to admin-ajax.php with no luck either.
@header(‘X-UA-Compatible: IE=EmulateIE7’);

The easy solution is of course to use FireFox for blog admin and setting up widgets.
