  Hi guys,

  i have perhaps a very stupid question- i am very new here and wanted to try the widges & co, but everythime i add something to my sidebad, the default setting are gone.

  I mean now, without adding nothing on the sidebar, i have Search feld, Pages, Categories, Blogroll & Meta.
  I would like to keep theese and add new widges- how can i do it?

  Thanks,
  coping koala :)

  The default widgets are theme’s specific. You have to also re-add those whenever want it to show up with your newly added ones.

  What does that mean? I have the same problem. All my links and everything else disappears when I put a widget up on the side bar. So Category, Pages, Blogroll and Meta all have to be re inserted? How is that done?

  Sorry, I figured it out. Pretty simple.

  Sorry for not giving clear instruction, let’s try it again.
  You’ll have to also add those default widgets when you want them appear with the newly added ones. Go to your dashboard => appearance => widgets => add/ edit what desire you most => save.
