Changing theme – Widgets and links lost
-
I want to change my WordPress site from one theme to another. But today, when I preview the new theme, it is not showing all the sidebar widgets and useful links that I have on the original site. This is strange as it was showing everything a couple of days ago when I first previewed the new theme. I made a copy of the old site so that I could experiment with the new theme and again the sidebar widgets did not copy across and they are not in the inactive widgets either. I really want to change theme but I don’t want to have to recreate all the widgets and useful links again from scratch. Any advice?

Ok.
My advice is that you read the instructions on the page theme:

Thanks, but I know how to add widgets and links to the new theme. What I want to know is how to copy them across from the old theme to the new theme. When I change theme, they just disappear. I don’t want to have to recreate lots of links in the sidebar of the new theme.

It is normal that to happen.

Look for them in your inactive widgets area. They are there.
