It use to work great and was a much added addition to my installs of plugins, but since WordPress keeps updating their core, it’s now broken. All my social links (Jetpack) icons no longer show up. I can hover over them and see the links, but the icons are no longer showing up anymore.

This is one of the first plugins I install on any WordPress website and I am immensely pleased it exists. The block based widget editor is dreadful to use in comparison, I’ve tried to use it several times over the past couple of years since it was introduced and found it to be unintuitive, prone to errors, and easy to make mistakes with. I’ve tried so many times, I’ve completely given up on it and regardless of any updates, bug fixes, etc, I won’t be using it until it comes to a point where Classic Widgets is deprecated.

Classic Widgets gives me a lot more control over the look of the widgets. I design/develop the widgets to look as they need too. Clients don’t need confusing options. I like the simplicity of this UI, and it’s flexibility.
I wish this was installed by default. It is part of what made WordPress a so popular.

I’ve installed lattest version of wordpress(6.5.5). i didn’t find “widgets” tab in Appearance and install “Classic Widgets” to solve the issue. But nothing happened. There is only one plugin on the site -> “Classic Widgets”. Others themes don’t have “widget” tabs as well. Absolutely useless.

NOBODY wants blocks.
NOBODY asked for blocks.
The most installed plugins are classic editor and classic widgets.
Can WP Developer team get their heads out of their rears and listen to the users who have to put up with their changes?

Personally, I don’t like the new block editor and I always install this classic editor. Please don’t stop supporting this one!

Everybody everytime:
1 – install WordPress
2 – delete Hello Dolly plugin
3 – install Classic Widgets plugin
Unbelievable how WordPress keeps pushing stuff that does not work and force people to install this plugin.

I tried to coexist with block widgets but failed…
The thing denied me any way to change settings for my legacy widgets. Even the “editing HTML” mode doesn’t give me any way to directly edit whatever internal data structure they use.
I mean, I’m a coder and I don’t do rocket science on my website. I should be able to diagnose whatever problem happening, as long as the CMS doesn’t actively get in the way.
And Block Widget is such a system: it seems to be designed to get in your way and serve no other purpose.
A (temporary, but hopefully long enough) restoration of sanity!

This is such a wonderful plugin. I felt lost with blocks taking over and I no longer had a say in how I wanted my widgets to be. I am so grateful that this plugin is still updated.

The gutenberg plugins simply don’t work at all. It is an absolute disaster that was never tested whatsoever yet pushed to production. Glad we have this plugin to fix the mess as a temporary stopgap while finding a new CMS.

“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.”
I am SO HAPPY to learn this !!!
