  How can I change my blog theme without losing my current text widgets? I tried to change my design but my widgets disappeared.

  You will have to open each text widget and copy the contents out and paste it into a plain text file. Then after changing themes, put the text widgets back into the sidebars and paste the text into them one at a time. That is the only way.

  <editorial> When wordpress made the big change, they broke the widgets administration big time and their is no sign that I can see that they are going to repair it.</editorial>

  You’re welcome. I made a habit of putting all my text widget contents in a text file and saving it on my computer just in case there was some strange thing that happened so that I would not have to recreate all of it.
