   Hi,

   By accident I deleted a widget, the post one.
   Is there a way to get it back?

   Hope someone can help.
   It's the first time I use WP so must get used to it.

   thanks

   Just to clarify, how did you "delete" the widget? If you deleted it just from your Primary Widget Area, the same widget can still be found in the "Available Widgets." If you are still on the widget page, navigate to a new page and come back to it. Then you can click and drag the widget that you deleted from the Available Widgets back to your Primary Widget Area. That will place the widget back on your website.

   Hi Kevin,

   Thanks for your email. Unfortunately I deleted the widget because it's also not in the Available Widgets section. It's gone. I reinstalled the theme but the widget's stay the same. Any idea what to do in this case?

   thanks, Stefan

   I have the same problem; a enthusiastic person hit the "delete" isnstead of "close" button in the active widget area and then dragging it to the storage and/or the Inactive area.

   It now does not appear anywhere at all.

   It was the "admin" widget. I believe I have the same problem that Stephan has...

   Can I re-install it from anywhere similar to a plugin?

   Hope to hear
