This is basically what is happening to me. I just set up 2 different sites on different domains and cannot get the plugins or widgets to work or even appear.
I am using IE7 and wp 2.8.6
these are new sites and I installed, uninstalled, and then set up a completely new 2nd site on a different domain.
I’m totally lost and frustrated.
Also…please don’t tell me to check some code because I will have no idea what you’re talking about. I have no programmer or code knowledge, but have set up wp sites before without a problem.
