Hi Michael,

Thanks.
I’m wondering if you can provide me with the default (option_name + option_value) for the Search widget as well as these 2 DO NOT have and adjacent ADD link (just empty space). The rest of the widgets all have ADD links and NONE is listed on the right under Available Widgets section. The strange thing is that I have Pages, Categories, Archives, Blogroll, and Meta widgets showing on my home page, but they still have this ADD link in the Available Widgets section and none of them is listed in the Current Widgets section on the right…When I experimented adding an existing (displayed) widget like Blogroll – all widgets disappeared! I then removed it and all displayed OK. Something’s wrong here. Maybe I should add all displayed widgets manually if you can provide me with the values??? I’ll appreciate your help here!

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

I don’t see my Links widget etc. Should I reinstall WP?
Thanks.

Thanks Michael,

I haven’t installed a theme with 2 sidebars, just using the default theme…I’ll tinker with the wp_options as you suggested and will post here if any success or otherwise. Thanks again.
