 * If I preview on the themes I have all my widgets are messed up.
 * – Some of the the widgets I have on my default website are removed (in best case
   they are put in the Inactive section).
 * – Widget are placed in different places (ex: blog sidebar is placed in the menu
   section)
 * – Deleted widgets (like meta) reappears.
 * All this happens just on theme preview.
 * Is this normal?
 * **Using: **
    Wordpress 3.9 Themes: Genesis child themes
