I’m having the same problem. The sidebar arrangement box displays “Default Sidebar” and the widgets are all along the bottom, but I can’t edit the widgets or get them to actually stay in the arrangement box. If anyone knows what’s going on, there are at least four people here who would love to know what’s up.

After reading a post with a similar problem, it looks like my problem is (or could be) a mod_security (and therefore not a WP) problem. Unfortunately, I don’t know what to do about this.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Sorry, blog: https://www.goblin-cartoons.com/

I’ve tried turning off my plugins, but it still loaded slowly.

I did run the upgrade script.

Not to sound like an idiot, but I don’t know how to optimize my database.

Checking my error logs, I am seeing a repeated error message:

mod_security: Access denied with code 500. Pattern match “^$” at HEADER(“USER-AGENT”) [severity “EMERGENCY”] [hostname “www.goblin-cartoons.com”] [uri “/robots.txt”]

and

mod_security: Access denied with code 500. Pattern match “^$” at HEADER(“USER-AGENT”) [severity “EMERGENCY”] [hostname “www.goblin-cartoons.com”] [uri “/”]

and

mod_security: Access denied with code 500. Pattern match “^$” at HEADER(“USER-AGENT”) [severity “EMERGENCY”] [hostname “www.goblin-cartoons.com”] [uri “/feed/atom/”]

–and similar error messages, but for different pages of my blog.
