Help Can't add widgets to lockscreen

Disharmony

I have the "Multiple Widgets" option turned on, but all the clock widget does when I try to swipe it is to do a half-assed flip and doesn't proceed any further. Even when I remove the widget the "+" sign doesn't appear and the clock widget returns after I relock it.

Can anybody please provide me with assistance on this matter?
 
Old thread, but I'm having the same problem and can't fix it... Even after a factory reset and recovery cache clear and factory data wipe and reset.

I had the plus sign screen show once when I first got the phone, but I vaguely remember dragging it to the trash on accident and it never came back. All the clock does is tilt, but it does not swipe to more widgets.

Alternatively, the lock swipe DOES work for the music and Pandora widgets that show on the stock lock screen. Why does this swipe work and the multiple widgets one doesn't?

I also rooted, unrooted, and after a factory wipe I don't get the normal setup procedures as with a fresh Android. I would hate to lose the stock lock screen as WidgetLocker just used too much battery with this phone... and I really like the full-screen music and Pandora use of the stock lock screen.

Anyone have any ideas?
