Hello,
Instead of fixing a flaw in the widget functionality, the latest version of “PHP Everywhere” just kills this functionality entirely. This is akin to throwing away an entire car, just because it has a flat tire or a broken part. So, I share @wmosquini ’s disbelief at the solution chosen by the plug-in author (whom I thank nevertheless for his hard work over the years). Part of the plug-in author’s justification seems to be that all WordPress sites have now moved to Gutenberg. But this isn’t the case for my site. I don’t know if there are stats somewhere on the number of WordPress sites that have stayed away from Gutenberg, but the “Classic Widgets” plug-in has 700,000+ users, and the alternative “Disable Gutenberg” plug-in 600,000+ users. So, we are already at a total of 1,300,000+ users. And this is without counting all the artisanal ways described in the WordPress documentation for “Restoring the classic Widgets Editor”.
