Describe the Issue:
When switching themes from Infocus to Method 2.8.4, my widgets were lost. They did not get moved to my inactive widget list as hoped.
I should mention I have created a Child theme, so my current theme is called Method Child. I don't know whether using a child theme might have confused WordPress and caused it not to move my old theme's widgets to my inactive widgets list.
What version of WordPress were you using?
4.8.1
What Theme and what theme version were you using?
