 * Hi: I have not messed with my WP blog structure for sometime. My widgets to the
   right of my blog that display a list of all my posts and many other things has
   disappeared. The archive was getting very long and I was looking to limit it’s
   length. I am not sure what I did, but now I have nothing on the side. I am using
   the 2010 Weaver theme and was wondering is anyone could give me a clue where 
   to start to fix this. Thanks…. [http://www.connectiblesblog.com](http://www.connectiblesblog.com)

 * Yes, I checked and they are all in the secondary widget area. However, I did 
   notice at the bottom left of the page they are also in an area labeled inactive.
   Thanks

 * that means they available for you. just drag and drop them in the right side 
   where you want them, thus making them “active” again.

 * These widgets are in 3 places – Top Left as Available Widgets – Far right in 
   the secondary widget area and the bottom left as Inactive widgets. The secondary
   widget area has all of my original widgets that I want, but none show on the 
   blog.

 * As I said before, All your widgets are there. You need to activate theme by draging
   and dropping theme to the right. They will not show up on your site untill you
   drag and drop theme.

 * Hi: I have followed your instructions to no avail. All of my widgets were in 
   the secondary widget area. Since they were not showing on the blog, I deleted
   them all. I then re-draged them over to the secondary widget area. Still no success.
   Next I deleted them again and, and used the technique of clicking on the widget
   and selecting the secondary widget area for deployment. Again, no results – blog
   page still has no widgets. Is it possible that I inadvertently changed a setting
   that would cause no widget to be displayed? Please don’t give up, I know this
   must be a pain…. Any suggestion? Thanks….

 * To rule out any plugin/theme-specific issue, try:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all)
   plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can
   interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find
   the problematic plugin(s). – switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen
   theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue(
   theme functions can interfere like plugins).
