After deleting, exporting, importing, double widgets again, re-deleting, re-exporting, and re-importing, it finally is rendering correctly. I’m not sure among all that activity what the actual fix turned out to be, but anyway, it’s working. Thanks for your help.

This is a fresh install. “Widget Importer & Exporter” is the only active theme. Akismet is present, but not active.

As I mentioned, it’s a fresh install, with the “Widget Im/Ex” Import function run only once, so I don’t see how there could be additional widgets present that aren’t showing in admin.

I’ll ask the theme author if they wouldn’t mind reviewing this discussion thread.

Thanks for your attention on this. I’ll continue to plug away at it.

Answering your questions in reverse order:

-Only the Footer Column widgets are doubled. The Sidebar widget is single.

-Using only ‘Text’ widgets in the Sidebar area + Footer Columns 1, 2, and 3.

-In Appearance > Widgets, there are only single instances of each ‘Text’ widget.

Here is a summary of the HTML in View Page Source:

<footer>

   <section id="text-2">
      …content…  //let's call this '<strong>A</strong>'
   </section>

   <section id="text-3">
      …content…   //duplicate of '<strong>A</strong>'
   </section>
-
   <section id="text-4">
      …content…  //let's call this '<strong>B</strong>'
   </section>

   <section id="text-4">
      …content…   //duplicate of '<strong>B</strong>'
   </section>
-
   <section id="text-5">
      …content…  //let's call this '<strong>C</strong>'
   </section>

   <section id="text-5">
      …content…   //duplicate of '<strong>C</strong>'
   </section>

</footer>

Ok, still new at this. Thanks for your reply.
