Update required for text widget

[rajanit2000]

Wordpress not displayed normal text widget when move to another server. I think its a small issue for core team.

It's probably due to a wrong update of your database in the migration: text widgets are serialized into the database, and if you only run a basic search & replace routine, it may breaks the serialization, making the widgets disappear.
Even if serialization could be avoided, this is not a core bug in my opinion.

If you need to change the domain name in your database dump, you should use ​Safe Search and Replace or a similar tool to do that without breaking serialized data like widgets or theme settings.

If you didn't change your domain name and still have a problem with text widgets, please try the support forums for troubleshooting.

Feel free to reopen with steps to reproduce on a clean install if it turns out to be a bug in core.
