WordPress Development Blog › Widgets Plugin
Widgets are an easy way for you to arrange and rearrange your sidebar to your hearts content without touching a line of code.
I tried this on my WordPress blog on XAMPP and it did not work. I could not drag and drop and a javascript error complained about sortable. I installed it on this website and it works.

Widget Plugin not working « WordPress Support
Yeah, same exact error. As I mentioned in my other post regarding it, it seems to be due to the header code - sidebar_admin_head() - not being called. If I manually put a function call to the header in the code, like so:
< ?php sidebar_admin_head() ?>(I added it at line 547 in widgets.php for those interested) - it’ll work.
Wordpress: 2.02
Web server: Apache 2.0.55 on Windows XP (test box)
PHP version: 5.1.1

I found this posting recently and decided to attach it to my original post. It works for my wordpress blog on a XAMPP installation. If you plan to cut and paste, please remove the extra space between the < and ?php or go to the original entry. Wordpress reformats php commands like this into invisible comments.
