Where Have All My Widgets Gone?

I was just getting ready to do part 3 to my viral marketing post when I thought I would try out a new theme that was part of a paid package. After taking note of all my widgets, the codes for them from the text widgets and disabling them (I always do this as in my experience, sometimes widgets get lost if the new template does not have two sidebars or if they are named differently) I installed the necessary plugins and the theme. Needless to say I was very disappointed, which is why I am back with this one.

On the whole the theme was good looking, a bit basic, but advertising everywhere that could not easily be changed. Also, the trackback url was not displayed, you know how this bugs me :).

A link in the footer is all the advertising you would get in a free theme, which is only fair as someone created it and are not getting a monetary reward. So, in a paid theme what would you expect? I expected a link to be in the footer that we could customise to include our affiliate link. This one was far from it.

The actual product in itself was not all bad. It was very good for beginners, so if you are one and would like to have a look at it give me a shout.

I have to get lots finished today as tomorrow is a bank holiday here in France, so will get the widgets back up later … hopefully :)
