I confirmed this as well, very strange.  One big clue I think is that what is shown is all the default widgets that come active on a fresh WP install even though those widgets were all in the inactive widget area, even after removing from inactive they still show on the home page.  Also I verified under Settings > Reading that "Home" is selected for the landing page vs defaulting to a blog view.

I suspect an issue with the theme install or possible something left in the database if this wasn't a clean WP install and maybe another theme left some stuff lingering around?  Try replacing the BeTheme 11.7 w/ the newer 11.8 by deleting the theme entirely and replacing with the newer version.

You may also try using the wp reset plugin to reset your database to a clean slate but remember that you'll lose your current edits and also have to import the demo content again for betheme.  It's like a fresh start but keeps your current user credentials.

Maybe you set them under Appearance > Widgets section?
