    Is there a way to turn on and place widgets using PHP or does WP have a function? I’m trying to have specific widgets load when the user activates my theme.

    Ok so I’ve limited it to the widgets that wont load are the multi instance ones. Not sure if that helps

// widget instances
update_option( 'widget_search', array( 2 => array( 'title' => 'Search!' ), '_multiwidget' => 1 ) );
update_option( 'widget_recent-posts', array( 2 => array( 'title' => '', 'number' => 5 ), '_multiwidget' => 1 ) );
update_option( 'widget_recent-comments', array( 2 => array( 'title' => '', 'number' => 5 ), '_multiwidget' => 1 ) );
update_option( 'widget_archives', array( 2 => array( 'title' => '', 'count' => 0, 'dropdown' => 0 ), '_multiwidget' => 1 ) );
update_option( 'widget_categories', array( 2 => array( 'title' => '', 'count' => 0, 'hierarchical' => 0, 'dropdown' => 0 ), '_multiwidget' => 1 ) );
update_option( 'widget_meta', array( 2 => array( 'title' => '' ), '_multiwidget' => 1 ) );

// widget order
update_option( 'sidebars_widgets', array(
	'sidebar' => array(
		'custom_menu_widget_1',
		'recent-posts-2',
		'archives-2',
		'tags_widget_1',
		'social_network_widget_1',
	),
	'wp_inactive_widgets' => array(),
));

    Got an answer…
