Disappearing widgets

  • I first built a blog in wordpress.com to see if I could do it. I used the twenty eleven theme. Now I’m reconstructing the blog using a web host and I’ve suddenly discovered that a lot of widgets available before have disappeared. Especially widgets like sign up for emails, etc. Does this mean I have to start over again with another theme or is there some way to add available widgets?

  • Do you still have your wordpress.com site? If so, checkout the installed plugins and reproduce those installations in your new site. I don’t know, but I guess that either you installed them on your wordpress.com site yourself (if it allows you to do that) or it has them installed by default.

    Someone else may know better than me on that score, though.

    Anyway, you can always search the wordpress plugin catalogue:

    Just search for the plugins you want and install them (and activate them, of course).

    Thanks for all that. I obviously hadn’t figured out how plugins work. I sure was startled, though, that so many features of the theme changed when I transferred it from X.wordpress.com to a hosted site, x.org.

    No problem. Best of luck.

    Cheers
