 * Hi,
 * After renaming the theme folder, and entering the same theme name in style.css,
   the theme loads without problems, but my widgets dissapear.
 * That would not be a problem if i had not 150 pages, and don’t want to click on
   every page to choose the widget again…
 * What would i need to edit else, maybe trough phpmyadmin, to load my widgets in
   the positions that they were?
 * Thank you.

 * I think you probably just need to go to Admin->Appearance->Widgets and put the
   widgets back in the sidebar. You should not have to do that for every page.
