Can’t Edit WP Widgets

How to Edit Wordpress Widgets when they don’t work 

There are 2 main issues with Wordpress Widgets:
1) Can’t add, save, adjust, move and/or arrange the Widgets
2) Having problems clicking on the edit links of the Widgets

The first problem isn’t really an issue. All you need to know is how the system functions. This difficulty arises when we try to add widgets to the right without clicking the save button. Try adding the widgets one at a time and clicking save each time you do. After you are done with them, drag and arrange them as you’d like the order to be. Remember to click save yet again. It works the same if you are trying to remove them. Click on the edit link, remove, confirm/change/yes (if any) and click save as before. The crux? Hit the “Save”.

The second predicament is that some of us can’t find the edit link for the individual widgets! Yes, it happens to me too. When this occurs, the easiest and most probable way to access the link is with different browsers. I’m not sure why this works but more often than not, it does. If it doesn’t work on Firefox, use your IE. (vice versa)

When this fails, I’ve read that temporarily disabling your custom plugin widgets may work. (The widget plugins that you downloaded and installed yourself.) My guess is that they may have some conflicting scripts in them. Very importantly, please do not delete the plugin itself as it may delete any previous information stored within them.E.g. Wall or Chatbox plugins

That being said, I wish that the above will benefit some of you accosted with the same bugaboo.

Singapore F1 GP Videos

Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix Videos along Marina Bay

Venue: Singapore Central Business District
Date: 28/09/08
Time: 8pm
Type: Night Race

What an amazing view I had from Ritz Carlton! I could see 6 turns on the track from where I was. Also managed to catch Piguet smash into the barrier and a “Red Bull” over-shooting into the excess area twice. I did miss the crash-out at one of the turns though as it was blocked by the grand stand area.

There was 2 favorite spots for me; the long stretch along Marina Bay and the “S” bend under the ECP. The long straight demonstrated not only the F1 vehicles’ astounding speed but also their insane braking ability! The “S” bend was really a spectacle of impeded clump manoeuvring for me.

Without ado, a video of the “S” bend at Turns 20 & 21:

This one shows Turns 16, 18, 19, 20 & 21:

Ahcient?

If you give out reading materials while your diners wait, do make sure someone proof-reads them first. Try and see if you can find the word “Ancient”.

Jero’s Operation

Poor Jero put on drip

Poor Jero put on drip

It was a really nerve-racking weekend for me. This is the second time Jero had to go under the knife for the same affliction; stones in his bladder.

I was told that he had a higher risk as the length of anesthesia was longer this time round due to the seriousness of his condition. To make matters worse, there was a complication during the surgery.

They had to first inject fluid through his privates to “pump” the stones from his urinary track back to the bladder in order for removal. Unfortunately there was too much pressure and his bladder ruptured! OMG!

Luckily, the doctors managed to sew the ruptured bladder back, saline flush his abdominal cavities and remove the stones smoothly. Actually I was really pissed. However, the important thing was that he was alright. Imagine the fright I had when they told me his bladder had “burst”.

After spending 3 days hospitalised and 1.9K in bills, he was finally fit to go home. I’m telling you: “This is verily the longest itemised receipt I’ve ever received!”

He’s doing alright now that he’s been home for 2 days; running around and trying to beg for food again. It’s pretty amazing he’s that active actually.

Bet he’s going to shiver again at the vet’s this Sunday for stitch removal. I just want to thank God for watching over my little Boy.
