Classic Widgets

Description

Classic Widgets is an official plugin maintained by the WordPress team that restores the previous (« classic ») WordPress widgets settings screens. It will be supported and maintained to 2024, or as long as is necessary.

Once activated and when using a classic (non-block) theme, this plugin restores the previous widgets settings screens and disables the block editor from managing widgets. There is no other configuration, the classic widgets settings screens are enabled or disabled by either enabling or disabling this plugin.

FAQ

Est-ce qu’il y a des réglages ?

Non, il n’y a aucun réglage. Une fois activée, cette extension restaure simplement le précédent – classique – écran de gestion des widgets et désactive la gestion des widgets via l’éditeur de blocs.

Does this work with full site editing and block themes?

No, as block themes rely on blocks. See Block themes article for more information.

I only installed this cz the new widget editor was slowing me down. It does what I needed, no extra mess. Still, it feels kinda basic and not something I’d call perfect.

Good if you don’t like the new widget screen. It made things easier for me, but honestly, it doesn’t add much else. Fine for simple use.
