 * Problem: Theme sidebars are not visible, widgets and screen-options are not drag-
   able/click-able in admin widgets page.
 * My site worked like a charm with a premium theme i used for 3 months, but two
   days now i am having the problem i mention above.
 * Problem occurs only with the premium theme. When i am switching back to Twenty
   Thirteen sidebars and widgets page works fine.
 * I have to say here that everything else is working fine except this and theme
   options.
 * With my knowledge of wp and the help of theme support i did the following steps
   to try fix my problem.
 * **Not Worked**
    de-activate/delete all plugins from db and ftp re-upload everything
   except wp-contents folder delete/re-upload theme files
 * As last step i created a new database from my cpanel change setting in wp-config
   pointing new db(same php files) and install wordpress from scratch.
    Install 
   premium theme Activate my plugins VOILA problem solved…
 * But now i had to import my posts-pages etc.
    First i tried the easy way to upload
   my posts table through phpmyadmin. When i did that problem come back again.
 * I start hole process from scratch again and this time i tried import from tools/
   import as xml file.
    Split the xml to 5 files and when i upload file 3 of 5 problem
   occurred again. I checked when file 1 and 2 of 5 uploaded and everything worked
   ok.
 * For now i restored my wp-config file back to old database and waiting for new
   ideas.
 * Have no idea what to do.
 * PS. Changing of theme is not an option.
    Thanks
 * Alex

 * I continue to work on this problem.
    Today i figure out that problem is somewhere
   on wp_postmeta or wp_posts tables.
 * When i restore both of them problem on widgets page comes again. When i empty
   one of them doesn’t matter witch problem solved.
 * Bad Karma

 * And have you asked the developers of the theme? Commercial themes aren’t supported
   here – partly because we don’t have access to them…
