  I have just done a post and all of my widgets have disappeared, this has happened before and I have been able to go into customize and the widgets that I had been using were at the bottom of the list and i could drag them back up and all of the info were still in the widgets. Tonight that is not the case looks like the widget customizer has changed, how can I get those widget back? Thanks in advance.

  Hi there. I can see the Follow Blog, Recent Posts and Tags widgets on your site. Are there others that are missing? And through which editor did you create your post, the Beep Beep Boop or the classic editor?

  I have the same theme as you and I’ve never encountered this problem, so it’s a bit difficult to troubleshoot if I can’t replicate the error, which is why I specifically ask which editor you’re using.

  I suggest you add your widgets via Appearance ->Widgets in the WP-Admin dashboard (http://gardeninghands.wordpress.com/wp-admin/), rather than the Customizer screen. Check if your missing widgets aren’t listed on that page.

  Then check if it happens again when you publish a new post.

  @Kokkieh, thanks very much for your reply. Most last post was in BBB editor and I originally set up my widgets in the black classic screen.

  When I went into the classic editor it was the screen I was used to and was able to see the inactive widgets and move them back in.

  Thanks again.

  Glad it worked. If the widgets go missing again when you publish a new post, let us know.
