 * Sorry, my bad, didn’t do enough digging before posting.
 * There’s a search filter hidden in the theme functions file that’s merrily overriding
   everything.

 * That looks like it will do the job.
 * Not sure when we’re due to do another domain move, but I’ll definitely try this
   out when we do.
 * Thanks for the link.

 * Not yet! :o(
 * Just went through the process of a domain change yesterday and the text widgets
   went missing again.
 * I’d descovered the issue with the string length needing to be changed with serialised
   keys after going through a DB export line by line to see if there was something
   the search and replace was missing.
 * Currently it seems to be only the text widget that causes a problem. So my current
   process is to copy the content out of any text widgets into a text file. Export
   the DB then manually search and replace the domain name adjusting any string 
   lengths as required. Import the modified file and then recreate the text widgets.
   All of which can take a long time if there is a lot of data. Fortunately I’ve
   only had to do this with new sites so there is very little data in them. I wouldn’t
   want to do it with an established site!
 * There must be a better way than this though?!
