New Blog on WP 2.5 with disappearing Sidebar

  • Hi All,

    Set up a new blog on WP 2.5. Went in and set up the sidebar widgets by dragging/dropping, etc. Went to the site, looked great. A few days later, the sidebar had reverted back to the default as if there were no sidebar widgets added. I logged into the admin and lo and behold, all of the widgets were gone.

    As this has happened twice over 2 weeks, I’m sure this must be an on-going thread about this… would be great if someone can point me in the right direction. Searching turned up nothing similar.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best,
    Cent

    Forgot to mention… using the WP 2.5 default theme although I’ve made CSS changes. Nothing was touched in the actual PHP files though.

    Hi, I had exactly the same problem. I solved it that way:

    Go to phpMyAdmin and choose your database. Choose table wp_options. This table is not marked as crashed, but it is probably damaged! Go to operations and click “repair”. The table will be repaired.

    It worked for me. After that I could insert the widgets again.

    Since I’ve installed wp 2.5, tables of my database crashed about 5 or 6 times (and I installed it 5 days ago!!) I had never had this problem with wp 2.3 -.-
