Classic Widgets is an official plugin maintained by the WordPress team that restores the previous (“classic”) WordPress widgets settings screens. It will be supported and maintained to 2024, or as long as is necessary.

Once activated and when using a classic (non-block) theme, this plugin restores the previous widgets settings screens and disables the block editor from managing widgets. There is no other configuration, the classic widgets settings screens are enabled or disabled by either enabling or disabling this plugin.

I only installed this cz the new widget editor was slowing me down. It does what I needed, no extra mess. Still, it feels kinda basic and not something I’d call perfect.

Classic Widgets helped me quickly restore the old widget screen. Very easy to use and no confusing setup. Feels simple and useful, but a few more options would make it better.
