yup, you’re right AND it was Polylang, one of my most important plugins! But whew, now I know what it is, thank you SO much!

Now I need to look for a new multi-language plugin because polylang causes too much trouble…

Thanks, but that didn’t help…

When I click on the pending tab, I see no comments, just this msg: ‘No comments awaiting moderation’. Same with spam tab. Although the #4 in a red/orange circle remains next to the comments link in the left menu…

Directly under Comments, it says:
All | Pending (2) | Approved | Trash (0)

In reality, however, it’s:
All (18) | Pending (0) | Approved (18) | Trash (0)

AND I’m even getting the same phenomenon on my posts
It says All (20) | Published (18) | Drafts (2) | Trash (1)

In reality it’s
All (11) | Published (9) | Drafts (2) | Trash (0)

So something is messed up, I just don’t know what nor how to fix it. I can deal with the posts being messed up, but I don’t want to miss approving any comments…

I’m the site admin and here are my plugins – which btw I have had problems with (display widgets & polylang do not work well together for instance – I have to deactivate polylang in order to manage/change my widgets otherwise my widgets backend page is empty ???).

Anti-spam
Cachify
Display Widgets
Enable Media Replace
Fast Secure Contact Form
Google XML sitemaps
HTML Javascript Adder
Landing Pages
LayerSlider WP
MailChimp
NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati
Options Framework
Polylang
pTypeConverter
SEO Ultimate
Shareaholic
Symple Slides
WordPress Database Backup

Do you think I need to deactivate them all and activate one by one to find the culprit?

I did get this error msg. on all my posts: Notice: Undefined variable: category, so it did spit out something, just not where I needed it too. I guess this means that my host provider does allow the debug mode, right?

THANK YOU! A few minutes ago, before I read this, I thought, oh yeah, I turned on WP_DEBUG to true to try to find another problem with my widgets backend page…

So problem solved! Thanks!

well that couldn’t have been easier, but as suspected, I can do anything and everything in that folder…

Are we stuck now?

I guess I can improvise and when I need to work on my widgets, I’ll just deactivate polylang, work on the widgets page and activate the plugin again afterwards…

Maybe at some point one of the plugin updates will alleviate the problem… If not, I can always look for another language plugin, I just don’t want to at this point…

Thanks for all your help. If you think of anything else, please let me know. I’ll leave this topic as ‘not resolved’…

Yup, I replaced the ‘false’ command with the 4 lines, then just the one ‘true’ command right above /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

I don’t know how to check for permissions, but I’ve been editing files from that directory since day one (my theme is in there), so there shouldn’t be a problem with that issue… How can I double check permissions?

hhmm, tried that, still no file…

I’m not sure what this means: ‘The errors should be displayed on the screens (except for ajax calls).” There are no error msgs. on my widgets page if that’s what you mean…

Is debug.log hidden somewhere in the wp-content directory or should it be a single file directly in the wp-content folder?

Before I downloaded every file and searched locally because I can’t (or don’t know how to) search in filezilla, but I don’t want to have to do that every single time I make a small change…

Thanks again…

Thanks! Both plugins were/are updated and activated… I use the Fresh and Clean Theme, not sure if that has anything to do with it…

Very well explained, thank you for that and I did everything stated above – correctly, believe me, but I cannot find the debug.log file. I searched everywhere, but to no avail… I have a debug.js, easyXDM.debug.js and debug.class.php, but no debug.log… It didn’t spit it out, sigh…

Thanks for sticking this out with me and sorry for late responses, I’m on a different time zone…

Thanks! OK, well, it’s a conflict between Polylang and Display Widgets. If Polylang is deactivated and Display Widgets is activated and vice versa, my widget page is manageable… ugh, I need both plugins though. Any further suggestions?

THANK you! Polylang was the actual culprit, at least now I know where to seek support from here and how to troubleshoot when something goes astray in the future…

huh, well that’s weird… I have a brand new ipad Air and iPhone 4, both with iOS 7.0.6 too… Well, I’m glad you can see it anyway… Thanks.

What device did you test it with? Maybe it’s just an iOS problem…

Yes, please answer since I am having the same problem. I’m not on Genesis though…

If this is impossible, how do I set it to the bottom so that it can be seen on mobile?

Can you please tell me where to find this information? Thanks.
