I recently encountered a strange thing for the first time with Wordpress...all of my text boxes in every widget sidebar disappeared! Other widgets are still there. Has this happened to anyone else? I am using 10 different sidebars on 10 different templates and all text widgets have failed. Is there a limit to how many sidebars you should have? What else could be the problem?

There are no limits, you should debug your code and possibly disable all plugins and revert to default theme. – Wyck Sep 21 '11 at 5:14

Thanks, I just wanted to know if there was such thing as "overloading" a sidebar. – Drai Sep 23 '11 at 17:24

My text widgets are dissapearing as well. Have you found what this happens? Thank you – user14306 Mar 19 '12 at 11:58

I never figured out why, and haven't had the issue since. – Drai Mar 19 '12 at 12:28
I decided to use Widget Logic instead of so many sidebars and that seems to have at leat circumvented the issue.
Possibly you must enable debug to true in your wp-config.php file by writing
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
to find out what's the exact issue, this will show you all the errors in wordpress dashboard, alternatively you can also check console log in the browser for errors, a proper debugging will probably resolve your issue.
