    You don't lose the content of them, but the widgets may move into a different widget area or in the Inactive Widget area. Since a lot of themes have different widgets names and classes, when you switch there may not be a widget area with the same name as your current theme which will throw it into that Inactive or unknown widget area.

    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.
