  Have you changed themes recently?

  No, I haven’t. I had one theme (Mistylook) from the begining. I saw the change today. Yesterday it was working.

  Not to ask a dumb question, but what happens if you try to add the widget again?

  I added it again and saved, but it’s still invisible. :(

  It’s there! Try clearing your cache and cookies. Restart your browser.

  I swear it wasn’t there before.

  Like stwarzanie I lost my blogroll widget but it hasn’t come back! I did as you suggested 1tess, clearing cache and cookies and restarting the browser. I also logged out of open sessions in wordpress. To no avail…
  My admin shows the links widget as used (therefore I cannot add it, again, to the sidebar). However, in the ‘current widgets’ column the links widget does not appear, nor in my blog. The count given in the current widgets column in correct at 7, but shows only 6.
  I can always just leave my links as a page but I did kinda like them in the sidebar. Plus, it bugs me not understanding!

  I don’t think it’s something we’ll understand.
  Send in a support ticket:

  There are quite a few people with problems this weekend. This blogroll problem is different, though.
  There must be something going on behind the scenes:

  Thanks 1tess, I’m accustoming to waiting days if not weeks for responses on forums, but this is just amazing!
  As for the issue, I’ll wait it out and see if things go back to normal on Monday. Thanks again.

  It’s very unusual for this to happen in the first place, but usually someone from staff comes in and says they are working on it or something like that, and as far as I can tell, they fixed a problem overnight but no one has said anything yet. I’m hoping it will be fixed soon.

  Found this thread while searching for a solution for what seems to be a similliar – if not the same – problem:

  All of a sudden the “previous posts” has disappeared. It’s usually at the bottom of the page, allowing people to reach and view older posts, but now it’s gone and people cannot access them without using the “search” box.

  Using Mystylook (click my username to reach the page)

  And now it’s there again, only some 15 minutes later. I changed nothing during those minutes, only wrote the above post, so I cannot help anyone else experiencing these issues. Oh well.

  Yes, it’s an intermittent problem of which staff is aware. Report it via your Support button the next time it happens. If you do a forum search you’ll find a few suggestions for dealing with it if it persists.
