I recently moved my wordpress installation to a new domain. Everything worked fine; all my images, posts and plugins copied across fine. My widget setup seems to be gone after moving domain. I can see the setup in the database but nothing on the page. Is it some manual thing you have to do to get the widgets to follow?

Reset to default 1Redrag and drop them in the widgets area.
Put this function into functions.php in the wp-include folder:
function maybe_unserialize( $original ) {
if ( is_serialized( $original ) ) {
$fixed = preg_replace_callback(
'!(?<=^|;)s:(\d+)(?=:"(.*?)";(?:}|a:|s:|b:|i:|o:|N;))!s',
'serialize_fix_callback',
$original );
return @unserialize( $fixed );
}
return $original;
}
function serialize_fix_callback($match) { return 's:' . strlen($match[2]); }
