Events Calendar Pro 3.3 Cripples WordPress Widgets Dashboard

[Adam]

After upgrading to version 3.3 of Events Calendar Pro I discovered when I go to add or edit widgets in the normal widgets area of WordPress’ dashboard, it lists available widgets but the widget location columns no longer appear on the right and I can no longer drag any of the listed widgets at all.

I deactivated each of my plugins one by one and checked to see what if any were causing the problem and it seems Event’s Calendar Pro is the culprit. If I deactivate it suddenly I have access to my widgets again.

Sorry to hear you are hitting up against problems, magmazing.

Can you confirm if the reverse situation is true – ie with all other plugins deactivated and only a default, unmodified theme running – that there is still a problem on the Appearance → Widgets admin screen?

I wonder if you are essentially facing an issue with lack of memory: in the first instance can you try increasing the memory limit by adding the following to your wp-config.php file:

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M' );

If that doesn’t work the next step is to see if there are any entries in the server error logs corresponding to these ‘crashes’ (seek help from your hosting provider if you are unsure how to access the logs).

Closing this one out as it’s been a while without any update. Of course if we can assist with anything else please don’t hesitate to open a new thread. Thanks!
