I had the SAME problem & forunately the SAME backup… 🙂
My site is http://prizma-il.com
I wish I had an idea…
One more cent: I have my debug on – no errors are reported.
I have the same problem with http://madmedmia.dk so not I cannot see/setup my widgets 🙁
Sadly I dont have a backup so I cant roll back.
Widgets are not lost!
Just downgrade by pasting previous version.
If you neeed help – call me
Wish I had come here before update….i would have been in bed yesterday.
Same issue after installing 1.9.5.0. (Fortunately I tried it first on my test site.) The problem didn’t exist in 1.9.4.9.
Thought I could workaround the issue, by opening the widget edit page manually (http://hostname/wp-admin/widgets.php) but got only a page saying my theme does not support widgets. If CyberChimps (Responsive WordPress Themes You Can Trust) intended to remove support for widgets, it is not funny that it was not warned beforehand.
I’ve seen exactly the same issue where widgets are not accessible.
yeah what’s the deal here – can’t find my widgets. i don’t have a backup – mulli.bahr – can you please advise how to downgrade?

my page goes so bad
ok i went to the CyberChimps website and saw that in their support forum they have a link for how to download the downgraded version so the widgets can work again – you can find the links here:
http://cyberchimps.com/forum-topic/update-1-9-5-0-widgets-disappeared-from-dashboard/
Instead of rolling back the theme you can temporarily re-register the widgets again in your functions.php file.
function homeWidget1_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Home widget 1',
'id' => 'home-widget-1'
) );
}
function homeWidget2_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Home widget 2',
'id' => 'home-widget-2'
) );
}
function homeWidget3_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Home widget 3',
'id' => 'home-widget-3'
) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'homeWidget1_init' );
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'homeWidget2_init' );
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'homeWidget3_init' );
Thanks @thomvincent , that works for the home page, but not for the sidebar 🙂
tenchoc, thanks.
I simply unzipped the theme from my backup.
BUT, now I wonder whether cyberchimp will remove the new update,
which really calls people to upgrade and bump into this issue.
This can save a lot of time, thousands of hours!.
This was a bug in 1.9.5.0 … Upgrade to 1.9.5.1 works fine for me!
Try this under Current Version here
If you’re widget don’t work, put it from the right sidebar to the main sidebar.
