Classic Widgets

Useful, but needs an update now, as the Classic bar does not remain sticky now with the latest WP 6.8 update.

Thanks to this plugin, I no longer get a headache from looking at the widgets page.

Hello, guys from WordPress Team. I want to thank you for keeping this plugin active until today. I started to really like the block scheme within the posts (especially for those who like to develop their own blocks like me), but here in the widgets I think the application of the blocks didn't work very well. You could create something similar to the old widget system, but without blocks. The cool thing about widgets was that they were easy to manipulate and allowed for faster customization within limits. The blocks in this part of the widgets became confusing and difficult to manage.

I'm using this plugin because of simplicity and for classic experience.

I experience from time to time glitches with the widgets block system and never got to like it. Lately, it got worse to the point that I could not add/edit my widgets, getting all kinds of errors and strange behavior. I must say I was panicked because it was a huge issue for me. After some research I found out the plugin that rolls us back to sanity. The fact that it has 2M installations and a 5-star rating clearly means that WP made a lousy move with introducing the blocks into the widgets. I hope they will take this seriously.

thanks for providing such a tool
