 * Hi, I use Version 0.0.12 (I recovered the “old” version after losing all the 
   widgets resulting from an update).
    All of a sudden, I cannot access the Widgets
   page (Design -> Widgets): wp-admin/widgets.php produces a blank page. The “Todd
   Halfpenny” link opens an “Account suspended” page. Please help! I am anxious 
   not to lose the widgets that I already had to recreate once. THANKS!!!

 * Hi [@valtom2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valtom2/),
 * Sorry you’re seeing problems. I’m not sure what’s up with the “Todd Halfpenny”
   link… what URl does it take you to?
 * As for the blank page this sounds really strange. Are you able to let me know
   the theme you’re using, and also the WordPress version you have?
 * Also, may be worth checking, are you able to set the [WP_DEBUG flag](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)
   in your config.php? This might give some interesting output that could help identify
   what is wrong.

 * Thanks, Todd!
 * I have two – almost identical – dev sites:
    – 2017.tomarenko.de – wpexperiment.
   tomarenko.de with Dorayaki WP theme
 * Unfortunately, the only way I manage to keep the widgets from disappearing is
   with WP 4.7.5 and Widgets on Pages 0.0.12.
 * In WP 4.8, Widgets on Pages (both 0.0.12 and 1.1.0) invariably produce a blank
   page when I click on Customizer or Widgets. There is no way I can access the 
   widgets…
 * The “Todd Halfpenny” link is [http://gingerbreaddesign.co.uk/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi](http://gingerbreaddesign.co.uk/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi)
 * The WP DEBUG flag is set to “false”:
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
 * Is there anything I can do, test, whatever?
    At the moment, I am at a loss.
 * Thanks a lot!!!

 * On the WP 4.0 site I can open Turbo Sidebars. I still cannot access the widgets
   though (Appearance -> Widgets -> blank page).
    THANKS!!!

 * Hi [@valtom2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valtom2/),
 * I’ve been trying hard to reproduce this with as many free themes as I can access.
   
   I’ve only seen the issue once with the picolight theme, and this was down to 
   the theme registering it’s own sidebars in a way that was not up to date with
   the way WordPress expected it to.
 * The Dorayaki theme is a premium one, right?
 * Ta, Todd
