Hello,
For some reason I am missing the Text Widget in my 2.8 upgrade. There are multiple instances of RSS and Categories, and all the others seem to be there, but Text is missing.
I first noticed this, as well as some other problems, after using the Automatic Install. So, I deactivated all plugins and then re-installed 2.8 manually. The other issues have been fixed, but this still remains. *I have not activated any plugins.*
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Have you changed themes?
Is there anything in http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279132
that helps?

Thanks.
I tried multiple themes and the Text Widget is missing from each. In each theme, it used to be there.
I looked at the link you provided, and don't think any of it applies.
Is there a specific line of code or a file that controls which Widgets appear in the dashbar?

Not that I know of. I'd certainly try re-uploading fresh copies of the wp-admin and wp-includes folders.

Yeah, I tried uploading fresh copies of the wp-admin and wp-includes.
I'm fresh out of ideas. Sorry... :-(

Tried all of the above as well, still missing the categories ~
I'll search for other possible solutions

Hi Cersa,
Yes, I am still missing the Text Widget. I have upgraded to 2.8.1 and there has been no change. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

No text widget anymore on any of the themes I've tried, too. And they are updated themes. Blog is 2.8.6
I miss them! I wonder how one would go about adding them back in? Anyone heard anything yet?
