Widgets

  • I could not figure out what happened to Widgets. Finally ran across a Youtube video for adding Custom Sidebars. While adding the Plugin and activating it, it mentioned that there was Standard Widget plugin to fix the WordPress update. Installed it and amazing all fixed.

    Honestly thought my site was corrupted and I had fix my database or to go to a backup copy. Lost days of work because of this. This kind of thing reduces my faith in using WordPress for my websites. Compatibilities issues and updates scare the hell out of me. Its like the Blue Screen of death with Windows. Then on top of this we have to worry about hackers, viruses and ransomware.

    Updates are a necessary evil. I get it! There has to be a protocol or procedure for preventing and communicating these problems.
