Link Widget disappears after changing theme

[nilsmich]

Hello Community

I'm developing a custom theme "newTheme" with custom hooks. I use the Link Widget in order to show Links to Terms and Conditions etc. Here is the problem:

1. Change the theme from "newTheme" to "classic" 
2. Change back from "classic" to "newTheme"
3. All link widgets using custom hooks are gone

I currently have to reconfigure all custom hook link widgets whenever I change the theme.

Is there a solution to this?

Thank you so much for any hint

Could anyone help? It is a huge hassle to set up all links after every time changing the theme or updating the shop. 

Thank you so much for any help!

It's super annoying. I've even tried adding the custom hooks to the classic theme in the hope it would save it. It appears it does, but once I switch back to my custom theme it's gone again. But if you are switching back and forth as a work around for your custom hooks to show up in the first place, there IS a button you can click that wil do the same. Go to "Design > Theme and logo > My theme for PrestaShop shop" and there is a button "Reset to defaults". Clicking that button will add your new hooks to the position list.
