  Hello, I have applied one theme (Mystique by The Theme Foundry) to my blog and created all the settings including text widgets. But as I changed the theme and applied another one (Titan by The Theme Foundry) , I lost my all previous settings. So is it possible to maintain text widgets as it is while changing the theme?

  All of your widgets should have been moved down to the “inactive widgets” area at the bottom of appearance > widgets. You can just drag them back up and into the sidebar on the new theme. You can also collapse the top “available widgets” section by clicking on the right end of the title bar for that section. That way the available widgets section will be closer to the top.

  Hi..
  Your all widgets are safe. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets and look upon at inactive widgets . These are the same you used in past. Just drag and drop them to activate again.
