WP: 3.3 JS Menus and Widgets Fix

Release-of-WordPress-3.3-Version
by Courtney Elizabeth · December 13, 2011 · Girl Geek ·

I know you’ve seen it.

The glaring yellow “WordPress 3.3 is available! Please update now.” notice at the top of your WordPress administration control panel.

Whether you like to keep things simple and hit the “Please update now.” for a quick automated update, or you’re like me and you like to do a clean wipe using FTP to ensure changes and rouge issues, you must be advised that you could encounter issues using the new Javascript (flyout) features such as Menus, drag and drop widgets, and Media Uploader.

Being that we installed this for a few clients, we actually had to back track and install the HotFix plugin for WordPress. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough. We had to edit the hotfix.php file to include the 3.3 update for WordPress. We implemented the hotfix-patch found here.

So when you put it all together…

your hotfix.php file should read something like this:
