    Hello!
    I have recently changed my hosting provider, and had to move my wordpress site to the new server.
    I’ve followed the instructions in http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress, and have a backup of my files and database.

    After setting up wordpress in the new server, all widgets are lost.
    Everything else seems to be working ok.

    Please note that my domain hasn’t changed.

    How can I get back my widgets?
    Thank you!

    At the bottom of Appearance -> Widgets in your blog’s Dashboard, look for a section titled “Inactive Widgets.”

    You might find your widgets there, and if so, you just need to add them back to the desired widget areas.

    Thanks for your answer!
    There was nothing under “Inactive Widgets”.

    I needed my site back online as soon as possible, and I couldn’t find a solution to this, so I reconfigured all my widgets manually.

    You’re welcome, glad you were able to get it back regardless. 🙂
