  I changed themes, and I seem to have lost my “follow” widget. Is this available for all themes? If not, which themes have it? Thanks
  Kate

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi!

  The Follow widget is available for all themes. However, when you switch themes, some widgets may be moved out of the widget area into the Inactive area shown here:

  You should find all of your previous widgets there. You’ll just need to drag and drop them back into place.

  In this case, it looks like the Follow widget isn’t there. I’m not sure why (it should pop in there). However, you should find the Follow widget in the list of normal widgets. Can you try dragging it back onto your sidebar?

  Thank you for your help! I added a plugin called “jetpack” that came with the widget — so it appeared that way.
  Now I just have to figure out how to move my “followers” from my old site to the new site….any advice?
  Thanks!

  Hi Kate,

  Sorry – I didn’t realize you were referring to a Jetpack blog. I thought you were referring to catherinestover.wordpress.com. The Follow widget should indeed come with the Jetpack plugin.

  I can move your followers for you if you would like. Can you just confirm you would like them moved from catherinestover.wordpress.com to the site http://www.catherinestover.com? Also, can you disconnect and reconnect Jetpack from your self-hosted site? I’m seeing one small error with the Jetpack connection but this should be cleared up with the disconnect/reconnect. To disconnect, navigate to Jetpack -> Jetpack from your Dashboard and click the “Disconnect From WordPress.com” in the footer area.

  Hello! Thank you very much! I’d appreciate it greatly if you would move my followers from catherinestover.wordpress.com to catherinestover.com.
  I did disconnect and reconnect Jetpack.
  Thanks!

  Perfect! I went ahead and moved your subscribers. You can see the list on your self-hosted site here:
