  • Hi,

    Not all themes support the same widget areas in the same locations. But, your widget settings shouldn’t be lost. They may be moved to the Inactive Widgets block. If so, you can move them into the appropriate widget areas.

    But, one thing to consider is whether or not your widgets are bundled in the theme or if they’re from WordPress itself or plugins you’ve added. If they’re from WP or from plugins, you’ll be fine and can follow the steps in the first paragraph. If they’re in your theme itself, they’ll disappear when switching themes.
