Theme Options – localhost to new url

The way I’ve always migrated sites is not by search and replacing, but just by changing two fields in wp_options: siteurl and home. Try doing only this, no search and replace, and see if it fixes your options page / widgets. It may be that by replacing all instances of “localhost,” you’re actually impairing your theme’s ability to locate itself, in a sense.
