 * I recently updated my theme and now all of my widgets that were in all of my 
   custom sidebars went to inactive. Where is this info stored to perhaps save some
   time restoring the files via ftp vs rebuilding? this is the second time that 
   this has happened.

 * Hello [@interactivedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/interactivedesign/),
 * I’m sorry to hear that.
 * This should not happen unless after the updated theme changed sidebars ID, hence
   the widget will go to unused (because the sidebars where there were are basically
   gone, because of the ID change).
    If you can restore the older version of the
   theme files, it should be back to normal. Can you tell me the name of the theme,
   so I can check if I will be able to replicate this issue?
 * kind regards,
    Kasia

 * Hi together,
 * since the last WordPress Update i experience the Problem, that my Widgets on 
   the Detail-Site show below the Content, but only on content-single.php of my 
   Theme, which ist Activello by Colorlib. Today i found out that it is NOT an Activello
   Problem. I installed a new Theme (Lightly) by another Producer and the same Thing
   happened.
 * Since i edited some “ewrwt2ttzrrzgerzge” into the Code of content-single.php 
   i was able to identify this template as malfunctioning.
 * The Starting Page (content.php) is working fine.
 * Home anyone has some Ideas how to solve this Problem.
 * Kind Regards an many Thanks in Advance
