I’m seeing this issue as well. Just updated to 4.9 and still see the issue – unable to edit text widget. Ideas? Just reinstall?

Ah, I think I see more clearly now. I believe you are saying that Simple Page Sidebars helps one manipulate any of the widgets so there are more options for using/including them on the pages as sidebars for a site. In that, I think SPS is working just fine! Here’s a page from our site that uses this plugin: https://wyclass.org/classes/

It looks like I need to search for help in editing the sidebar/widgets themselves. Thanks!

Brady, thank you for your reply.

When I visit Appearance → Widgets, I see the list of widgets and a few pages to which they have been assigned. If I click one of the widget titles, I see that I can assign this widget to several page choices or cancel. If I click one of the pages, I can see which widgets are attached to it. Clicking the widget here informs me, “There are no options for this widget” and I can delete or close. There is nothing obvious here that allows me to edit the content of the widget itself.

When I visit Pages → All Pages and click a sidebar title from the list of pages, I see that I can change the title and pick which pages this sidebar appears on. There is nothing obvious here that allows me to edit the content of the sidebar itself.

Although I did not create the widget I’m trying to edit, I assume that it is a “text” type widget. It has a title and a description.

What am I missing?

Posting my same problem to the support forum.
