  My blog was fine last night. This morning I noticed the left sidebar doesn’t display on the computer or on mobile. I liked it the way it was. I had a Twitter widget, Text & Hit Count Widgets. I tried to play with it but still can’t get it to display. I think I may have lost all of my widgets.

  I don’t know how you lost them but you can always reset them by going to Appearance > Widgets.

  Hi Linda, it looks like you’ve been doing some theme-switching in the last while. If you still need any help with this, let me know which theme you’d like to keep, and we’ll try to figure out why your sidebar dropped below your content. Often that happens because of an overlapping/missing/extra tag in your post or text widget content. Just let me know when you’ve settled on a theme and if it’s still an issue, I’ll be glad to take a look.

  Ah, my reply overlapped with yours and Galois’s – glad you’re all set and kudos to Galois for identifying the issue!

  Thank you for your response. I only changed Themes because I paniced and thought the theme wasn’t working. I was an open DIV tag on my last post that caused the problem. I think it is fixed now. But, I lost my other Widgets and need to recreate. I’ll do that later tongiht. For now, my sidebar is back.
  Thanks

  Glad you found the problematic div.

  When you switch themes, your widgets may be moved into the Inactive Widgets area, and I see a bunch of them there now.

  Scroll down til you see the “Inactive Sidebar” and “Inactive Widgets” sections. You can drag your widgets from there to your Active Widgets area on the right – you shouldn’t need to recreate any widgets this way. Let me know how it goes.
