p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wireless remote issue is making me crazy. Help

There's got to be a setting that I'm missing or something. I am simply flummoxed.

A. Panasonic GH4
B. I have two different wireless remotes, both of which are functioning, but when either is attached to the camera the trigger is pushed, it doesn't lock focus. Nothing. Nada. No little squares. Zero. And the lights on both the sending and receiving units indicate they're working.
C. They used to work just fine, and (AFAIK) I haven't changed any settings.
D. A wired remote I have works just fine and dandy.

Is this perhaps a bad port (although I don't see how)? Malfunctioning hot shoe? Giant space weasels? Just some random setting I hit once?

This is driving me absolutely bonkers, so thanks in advance.

Giant Space Weasels!
Honestly, we need more info about your setup, which wireless remotes! And how it's set up(including pictures).

Just for the sake of others with potentially the same problem, I fixed it.

I threw out my old wireless rig because, after two years, Milo, our new kitten, had eaten through the wire that goes between the receiving unit and the camera.

W/the new one, there was NOTHING in the Chinese/English menu about which heads of the cable went into which ports. I finally tried reversing how I had it and *presto*, we have a fully functioning unit now.

Yay.
