  I was told that I would not lose any of my customization if I wanted to check out other themes. After looking at other themes, I decided the original theme I had was the best but now I’ve lost all of my side bar customization. How can I get that back without spending hours to try to recreate what I already had?

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

  Hi!

  When you switch themes, there’s a chance that your sidebar widgets will be removed due to some differences in how each theme handles widget areas. However, you shouldn’t lose the custom widgets you’ve already created. They should be available here:

  Just look under the “Inactive Widgets” tab here:

  Then, you can drag and drop them onto your sidebar.

  Can you give that a shot?
