Text widget doesn't save the content

I am trying to save data in the default text widget. But when I click save, all the data are not saving and the field becomes empty. It happens when I edit in title field or text field.

As I new to WordPress, I don't know the solution. I haven't installed any cache plugins. I haven't done any changes in functions.php or anywhere.

• I'm having this issue too, super strange. Can't even save a single letter in the Title, Visual or Text fields. – jerclarke Commented Aug 2, 2017 at 19:25
• Do you have Jetpack active? If so, the issue may be related to a bug in the 5.2 release: jetpack.com/2017/08/02/jetpack-5-2-1-fixes-a-sidebar-widget-bug – Weston Ruter Commented Aug 3, 2017 at 0:31

Sorted by: Reset to default 0

you can try with this.

Step 1:

Go to Appearence --> Widgets

Step 2:

Then at the top right of the screen you should see a tab that says Screen Options. Click on that, then a link will appear in the top left of your screen that says ‘Enable Accessibility Mode’ and click on that and give it a try.

i hope is useful

This is an old question but recently I had a similar problem (WordPress 5.3) and the solution was to enable Accessibility Mode (top-right corner).
