I want to use some widgets as legacy widgets and some others as block widgets. But i have noticed most of them are hidden. I can only add: meta, navigation menu and language switcher (polylang).
]]>Over many years editors have been using text widgets to add items to the Sidebar and select which pages they appear on. The latest update to 5.8.1 in our dev environment has shown that
1. These text widgets no longer show up in the “Available Widgets” section.
2. The do show up on the site, placed as before.
I installed “Classic Widgets” plugin in dev environment. This did not recover the now-missing widgets. They are unavailable in both block and classic view.
It’s pretty clear that those widgets should be Custom HTML and not arbitrary text, but in order to make any changes it is necessary to be able to reach the existing widgets — remember that since they are displaying on the existing site they will remain where they are placed until they can be removed. Obviously they are still present in the database so the markup hasn’t been lost, just misplaced.

]]>“Select both the sidebar for this widget and the position of the widget in that sidebar.”
Current version: 5.6.1
I have tried removing all my plugins and used a default theme, still does not show the widget details.
For what this is worth, the HTML code I pasted into the Custom HTML widget is as follows:
free-hit-counters.net <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://www.freevisitorcounters.com/auth.php?id=44681f1742f0e8e2fc6a29745b5cd32788b7426e’></script>
The URL https://free-hit-counters.net shows up in red which I’m guessing means there is some sort of problem. This is in Version 5.1 of WordPress. Thanks for any suggestions regarding solving the problem!
