  I have been using Misty Lake, but decided to try out another theme. I didn’t like it so came back to Misty Lake. When I activated it, I noticed that the widgets from the original site was showing on all the pages. The widgets no longer displayed the Visibility button and I am not able to prevent the widgets from showing on all pages. How do I fix this?

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

  Hi ugnnew,

  With some themes, if you haven’t added any widgets to your sidebar(s), the theme will show a default set of widgets, which will not be listed in the Sidebar area.

  When you add widget(s) to a sidebar the default set of widgets will no longer be used. You may want to try adding a blank Text Widget if you don’t want anything to show up in a widget area.

  Here is a support doc with more information:

  I hope this helps!
