My Dashboard does not contain some of the Admin pages I need to manage the blog, particularly, manage plugins. This is in WP 2.7.1 beta 1. Can I add them to the Dashboard? If so how? I can get to them by going to the Admin dir with a browser, but that’s a pain that I don’t need. Am I doing something wrong here?

Oops! Sorry about that. I thought I had it resolved. That is to say sidebar widgets did appear in the presentation menu and even displayed the draggable function. However after dragging a couple widgets and saving them I received the following error message.
Line: 296
char: 5
Error: “Draggables.drags[…].element.id” is null or not an object
Code:0
URL:…wp-admin/themes.php?page=widgets/widgets.php

I found this area in widgets.php, but don’t know what to change. Is this something that must be changed by the program? I read everything in the articles where you sent me last time, but do not see an explanation for this. As I mentioned earlier I had this working before and thought all I had done was inadvertantly over-wrote the functions.php file. I also tried disabling the widgets plugin, re-activating it before recalling it from the presentations menu, but that didn’t work.
I did try upgrading before I got on this fixing campaign, however, I have multiple installs and my database went crazy and I considered myself fortunate to recover from that with no losses.

Thank you so very much for pointing me to the information!
The problem was the functions.php file.
