Why is this useful?
WordPress 5.8 was launched on July 20, 2021, and contained some enhancements to the WordPress block editor. Among those features was an introduction to WordPress’s new Widget Block Editor.
Now, why would you want to deactivate this function in the first place? You may have script conflicts that prevent you from using the widgets due to the block editor and conflicts with other plugins.
