 * Recently recovered my site after a malware attack, and I am not able to find 
   the functions.php file anymore with the theme. Also, the widgets option is no
   longer available.
 * I switched themes and did a live preview, and I can get the sidebar to show up
   that way – so I have narrowed it down to the theme having issues.
 * The theme that I am using is called “Carte Blanche”. (This was the theme the 
   site was built on when I started helping them). My plan was to maybe re-download
   the theme and restore it, but for the life of me cannot find that theme (the 
   previous admin is no longer available).
 * Any suggestions how I could bring the sidebar back by keeping the same theme?
