Problems With Widgets Sticking In WP 2.8
Post date: July 9th, 2009The other day I was building a site and something strange happened. My widgets would not move - they would not drag or drop anywhere. After scratching my head, changing my theme and deactivating plugins I found the problem. In WordPress 2.8 there is a little problem with widgets (probably caused by some javascript) where they sometimes stick.
There is an easy fix which I tweeted about the other day
All you need to do is go to Appearance/Widgets and click the link for Screen Options
Now the options box will open up and you’ll see this link
Now just click the link to enable accessibility mode
Now when you go back to your Widgets you will see that they now have a link on the side that says "Add" click that to add to your sidebar 
Now you just need to configure the widget by choosing which sidebar you want to add it to, and add the position where you want the widget to appear in the sidebar
Simple fix to a v. frustrating problem

This was a very helpful post sometimes the obvious isn’t always clear.
