  WordPress has just introduced a new way of placing widgets in sidebars and this has cost me too dear! I have lost some of my widgets and their HTML codes! Previous system of adding and removing widgets was much more helpful than the new one! I am terribly upset! Why did I try to change a few things without saving my widget codes!

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

  Look at the bottom of the widgets page under the “inactive” widgets section. Your old widget may be there.

  And yes, it is always a good idea to save any stuff you have put into text widgets to a plain text file just in case something happens.

  No. There’s nothing in ‘Inactive Widgets’. I lost Clusturmap code (which I am unable to retrive from the site as I have forgotten my login account details) and some other important stuff. My dashborad still shows I have 15 widgets but my widget page is showing only 9 active widgets. Anyway, thanx for help.

  Anybody else there to help me out!?

  Try this: Log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart the browser and then try again.

  Also, what browser and browser version are you using?

  No. It didn’t work either. I removed everything from my browser’s private data and restarted it again. It still shows 15 widgets in dashboard, 9 active widgets, and no inactive widgets.

  I am using Firefox 3.5 for Ubantu 9.04.

  Here’s your clustrMaps code:

  <a href="http://www2.clustrmaps.com/counter/maps.php?url=http://hindizen.com" id="clustrMapsLink"><img src="http://www2.clustrmaps.com/counter/index2.php?url=http://hindizen.com" style="border:0;" alt="Locations of visitors to this page" title="Locations of visitors to this page" />
  </a>

  You can google the title of an earlier post of yours and click “Cache” to get a previous version of your blog. Then select View Source in your browser and you’ll have all your text widget codes back.

  @panos, nice. I’ve used that for posts, but I didn’t think of it for widget code.
