Hello all –
I have not resolved the issue, and i do not believe it is an issue with child themes because my widget management area is un-usable I switch to a default (Twenty-twelve) theme. I can’t take my site out of production at the moment because we are in the middle of holiday fundraising.

Yes, I de-activated all of the plugin and set the theme to TwentyTwelve, re-installed the core update, and the issue persisted.

Note that I have since reactivated the plugins and set the theme back to the custom theme since the site is in production.

Thanks a ton, Robin! Rolling back to Gridiculous v.1.0.7.1 solved the issue of the child theme. I will work on updating the chill theme for compatibility with the newer versions of Gridiculous.

However, the issue of dysfunctional widget management persists. I believe this is an issue with the WordPress core files, as I have attempted to deactivate all plug ins, and the widget manager is still non-functional. I can navigate to the widget manager page, but I cannot expand the widget areas, or drag widgets into them.

This site uses Yahoo web host service – could there be a conflict with them somehow? I remember there were issues with migrating the site from the test server due to their automatic WordPress package installer.

Oh wonderful, that did the trick! Thanks to you both ??

Hello WPyogi, thanks for the tips, but since this seems to be the same issue that MiekeRoth experienced I posted here. I’m happy to start a new thread if you think that would help to better document this issue.

The site is currently arebe.us, however, I posted the screen cap because I am currently troubleshooting the issue myself, and I don’t know if it will persist, or if I will continue to use the Gridiculous theme.

I’m experiencing the same issue with Firefox and the Gridiculous theme. I used Chrome to set up the site & test-drive the theme and everything was swell, it’s a lovely responsive theme and just what I was looking for. I used a custom header image that I uploaded per the Grididulous theme’s UI. When I tested the site in Firefox, the header image appears next to the title and subtitle text. Here’s a screencap of what the site looks like in Firefox:

In Chrome, the image box (with “Welcome..” and some square images, its really just one header image) appears below the site subtitle (“The Environment Science….”) as it should.
