Widget disappears when i activate my child theme

Hello Presslayouts,

It is the default expression of WordPress. When you activate your child theme during the development phase, it will place your all defined widgets to the inactive widget bar. You just need to move them back from inactive widget bar to desired sidebar section. This can be achieved from Admin Panel > Appearance > Widgets. The best practice is to set up the child theme at the beginning of the development.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks.

When switching themes all widgets are moved to “Inactive Widgets” area, leaving an empty sidebar. You can consider it as a default expression.

This happens when:

• New theme has a different number of registered sidebars than old theme.
• New theme and old theme have the same number of registered sidebars, but the ID value for the sidebar is different between the two.

Widgets should never be put into Inactive if the new theme has a least one sidebar registered. The ID values for registered sidebars in themes should be ignored and not used for comparison.
