• I updated my WP to 3.8.1 and am having all kinds of troubles.

    1. I lost my widget area. I still see all the custom sidebars I set up in my theme settings but when I go to Widgets there is nothing there except calendar, archives and categories. And no side bar area in which to drag and drop.

    2. I am having fatal error issues all over the place.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    So here’s my deal. I finally was able to deactivate all the plugins and a friend suggested that I add to my ‘wp-config.php’ file the following which I did:

    . You will find a line that says “define(‘DB_COLLATE’; ”);”. Under this line enter (without the quotes) “define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);”

    Doesn’t really seem to help. Now that my plugins are deactivated I’m activating them 1 at a time. So far

    1. my gravity forms would not activate and caused a fatal error.
    2. my Post Types Order and Print Friendly Plugins activated fine but when I tried to update them they caused a fatal error.

    Suggestions? Should I reupload my plugins to the server?

    Thanks again for any help.
    Lynne
