@lancingprep, theme designers will not provide any support for wordpress.COM adapted themes because they have been modified. Once wordpress.COM adapts a theme, the theme designers are out of the picture and wordpress.COM has to provide the support for users at .COM.

@panos, not seeing the home page widget yet, but as you suggest, they have to go theme by theme. We might have a week of bumpy rides, but from what I’m seeing the ride will be worth it with the changes.

@axelmoto,

Go to appearance > widgets, if the links widget shows in your sidebar, click the right end of the blue bar and then click “remove.” After that change has saved, then drag the links widget back over and into the sidebar, waiting for the grey outline box to appear, then release the mouse button. After it saves, you can reposition it if necessary, and then go look at your blog and it should be there for you.

@Tess & tsp: Yes, it’s only in some themes. Check Chaos Theory, for instance.

For the time being, run your site’s url on Google and get all your data from the cache and save it until this is all resolved.

I had this happen with ChoaticSoul, re-adding the link widget on the wiget page restored them as they had been previously.

My links were restored by re-adding them. Somehow the links widget slipped out of the list of stuff I added, so once I re-added it, all was good. It was just a bit of a shock to see them vanish like that!

Staff is updating widgets and some other stuff so that is why it disappeared.
