 * Hi All,
 * I’ve recently done an upgrade from 2.something through to 2.6.5. Currently however
   I go to the design/widgets page and I get “No matching widgets” no matter which
   theme I chose or what I seem to do.
 * I can only think this may be a data problem with the database or some other issue
   and started hunting through things to figure out why it’s not returning well…
   anything. Was hoping someone may have also had this issue or may know where to
   go looking straight up so I can cut to the chase quicker…
 * a little annoying really as I wan’t to update my site
 * Cheers
    Craig

 * If you’ve got the old Sidebar Widgets plugin installed, you should deactivate
   that, then delete the related files in your wp-content/plugins folder.

 * yeah no joy. I didn’t have the plugin installed anyway.
 * I’ve tried the whole “save changes” thing that seems to work for others as well:/
 * bummer…

 * Upgrading to 2.7 seems to have resolved the problem. Perhaps the 2.6.5 upgrade
   didn’t go through cleanly
 * Thanks for your response though!
 * Cheers
