Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Hi,
if I have a admin theme installed, I cannot move the blocks of the standard theme. I've tried several admin themes, like garland. When I switch the admin-theme back to system-standard, I can move the blocks properly.

Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commentedIt's a common issue with D6, you can find many other similar issues on this website.
I have to set the blocks directly in the database unless their settings are saved for the admin theme and not for the default theme.

Peter MajmeskuPlease post the address of the work around. This is not enough information. Switching the theme back to system-standard is a very annoying workaround and this case is still a bug.

grendzy CreditAttribution: grendzy commentedI agree that it's not "fixed", and I still don't see a clear description of the problem. Since it's not reproducible on a standard install, a precise description of what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen instead would be helpful. Screenshots would be great.
FYI, there are normally tabs on admin/build/block, one per theme. Also most block settings (such as visibility) are theme-specific.

lunatic CreditAttribution: lunatic commentedI have the same problem. I use rootcandy for admin theme. One main difference is that this behaviour appeared 2-3 days ago. I did disable all modules that had recently added and uninstalled them too. Clear the caches, fix tables still the problem persists.
Some of the modules (if not all) were ad, weather, chart_api, web_widgets
The work around to disable the admin theme didn't work for me.
One hint only is that the first few times that appeared this problem it came with a validation error. Which is no longer the case. I hust cant assign blocks to regions or reorder them.
So I am left with only way to change things by editing directly the database. Only good thing is that phpmyadmin loads a bit faster than the admin blocks page. On the other hand I have to memorize now the weights of 40-50 blocks to be able to make edits relatively fast.
I dont thing a screenshot would help. If i understood well in all cases it would show the blocks unchanged, in the same order before and after have saved any changes.
Also nothing appears at error reporting.

Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commentedI was able to solve the problem by disabling all blocks in the database (status = 0) and starting from the scratch.
Now I use the context module to manage the blocks. Everything's fine.

Peter MajmeskuAnother core-bug which is unimportant for the core-team? yeah, that's code quality. :D
