I got the same message after a blog migration. I don’t even touched a file…
Plz help!
And here is another one with the same problem
This is due to the text widget not having the right kind of data in it. A lot of people get it after upgrading for some reason.
If you go and edit all your text widgets and then save changes, this should go away. Worst case, manually edit your database, find the widget_text row in wp_options, and remove it. Then put your text widgets back.
wow, lucky i found you. a problem for days! here is what caused error to appear. i upgraded from v2.1.1 with a load of plugs/widgets using sidebar widgets. i deleted all the plugins prior to the upgrade because i was locked out of admin = this forced me into upgrading to 2.5 = no problems.
once 2.5 was up i added plugins “wp-gbcf” “sidebar widgets” “simple tagging” “simple tagging widget” well i could not see a lot of my widget_text content from v2.1.1 and deactivated “all plugs” = the aforementioned error.
now to figure out the new widget setup as my prior setup had a lot of text widgets including php variety. thanks again otto!
thanks. I just went into widgets.php and clicked save changes and I’m set. Weird but great
I spoke too soon. It allowed me to view the blog but there are still errors at the top of the page and I get the errors when I try to get into the admin section.
i got the same problem in http://www.abk-redemptoristen.de
my update was really risky: from 2.0.somewhat to 2.5.1 (german). afterwards i got all these kind of error messages from above and i am not able to login to the adminpanel. the widget row is not there in the db and i cannot reach the widget.php…
some help out there?
Same thing happened to me after I just added a new text widget. Now all my widgets have disappeared (except the ones that came with my cutline theme) and error messages are appearing at the top of the page on my live blog (not good!) and in the admin panel.
I just moved over to wordpress 1 week ago from blogger, so I’m very new at making backend changes on this platform. Some step-by-step guidance would be much appreciated – thank you!
I am new to this as well, I am getting the same error message and cannot login to my control panel at all… here is the problem http://www.yourmusicsucks.com It happened after I tried to add a new text widget. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!
I received the same error as you guys upgrading from 2.5 to 2.5.1.
Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array…
I narrowed it down to this line from the newer wp-config.php:
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
I use dreamhost, maybe they’re not using utf8? In any case, after removing that line, all was well. I hope this helps someone.
I have the same problem although it didn’t happen immediately upon upgrading.
I can’t log in as admin and thus cant try some of the solutions offered. I checked my config file and because I haven’t changed it through several upgrades of WordPress it didn’t have the line
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
at all. When I ftp’d the newer version across with this line in it, I still had the problems plus an accented word in my most recent post was suddenly showing garbage. I am wondering if the problem has to to with accented text in some way?
I am not sure what to try next.
This issue is NOT resolved
After a restore of my database locally, I get the error.
To fixed it, I went to the widget panel and changed all the text in widget title.
I fixed the error message, but now I can’t change the widget title (Recent Post for example still keep ‘5’ as title, each time I change the title and press Save Changes, the title is ‘5’ ).

I’ve found my problem :
1) There was a difference between my two database. The first was UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) and latin1_leneral_ci, but the second was UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) and utf8_bin.
2) When I’ve imported the data from the first base to the second the character of the sql file was set to utf8 instead of latin1.
So I did the following :
Set my second database to UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) and latin1_leneral_ci.
Choose latin1 character set during the backup importation on the second base.
If you ve yhe same error take a look on the character paramters of your new database, and you’ll find the solution.
Hope it’ll help somebody.

Same problem but I was already using 2.5.1. I added the following as a text widget:
<p align=”center”><a href=”http://www.5minutesforspecialneeds.com” mce_href=”http://www.5minutesforspecialneeds.com”><img src=”http://www.5minutesforparenting.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/special-needs-125×125-1.png” mce_src=”http://www.5minutesforparenting.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/special-needs-125×125-1.png” alt=”5 Minutes for Special Needs” class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-19″ height=”125″ vspace=”10″ width=”125″></a>
I assumed this would be the solution since it happened IMMEDIATELY after adding code in a text widget:
This is due to the text widget not having the right kind of data in it. A lot of people get it after upgrading for some reason.
If you go and edit all your text widgets and then save changes, this should go away. Worst case, manually edit your database, find the widget_text row in wp_options, and remove it. Then put your text widgets back.
But the widget_text row isn’t even showing up in wp_options. All of my text widgets disappeared.
UPDATING AS I’M POSTING –
When I tried to add a new Text Widget as a test, I lost the whole site and only the error message showed. I backed into my control panel and removed the test Text Widget and now everything is back with the exception of all my previous Text Widgets (gone forever I assume – oh well).
I just tried another test Text Widget and it worked fine.
So apparently, there is something in that code that caused my Text Widgets to go Kaflooey (the code is being distributed by another WordPress blog to be used to post their ad. I will be informing them). I included the code because I thought someone might know why it screwed things up.
