  • Open your WordPress admin dashboard and click Plugins > Add New.

    Type “Classic Widgets” in the “Search plugins…” box and the first result should be this plugin by WordPress Contributors. Or, if you downloaded the plugin zip file, you can click “Upload Plugin” and either drag-and-drop the zip file you downloaded, or click “Browse…” to locate it.

    Click “Install Now”, and then click “Activate”. Once the plugin is active, the widget block editor should be disabled.

    This doesn’t work unless you have a business plan, which I don’t.

    There doesn’t seem to be a way to update my sidebar information other than the menu. do I have to find a new theme and start all over?

    Hi, nubiesan, are you using a WordPress.com plan?

    Same problem here, tomsbytwo.com … do I need to upgrade to install this plug in?

    So – I installed the classic widget plugin, and now all of my legacy widget info is gone! Thoughts, before I have to recreate everything?
