  I have the Sela theme and I deleted the first footer widget by getting rid of the map widget. When empty, the widget doesn’t work. How do I get use of the widget back if I cannot click the add button?

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

  Glad it reappeared!

  If you ever accidentally delete a widget again, you can usually find it in the WP Admin dashboard’s widget page:

  Scroll all the way down to the Inactive widgets area at the bottom left and you’ll see them. From there, they can be moved back into one of your theme’s widget areas.
