Thanks for the plugin, but seriously WordPress... please stop with the blocks. Ever heard the saying if it ain't broke don't fix it? Shouldn't need a plugin just to revert back to what was completely fine and operational in the past.
Looking at the horrible reviews about Gutenberg and all the complaints on here, just why? Why continue to try to shove blocks down everyone's throat.
Thank you for this app. What was WP thinking. Block system a complete train wreck!! Now that blck system is broken, now you can fix it... that is generally how it works.
I can now find my widgets. Goodness knows why the WP developers insist on creating new things that destroy the user experience. Who wants block widgets? This plugin is just what's needed to keep a sensible interface
Thanks for this, new widget system is total disaster, I simply hate it.
I hope they return widgets as they were in next updates, because this is horrible.
First it was guternBUG editor, now its guternBUG widgets, the worse part is this un-useful block widget tinkers with AD CODES, adding <br /> and <p> tags when I did not ask it to.
Just making life hard and harder for people.
Leave the old widget interface. It is simple and intuitive. The new one is even worse than gutenberg (i was sure there could be nothing more bad than gutenberg editor but i was wrong! Buttons are floating all over and changing position. Seriously wordpress developers just making an editor with nice flat buttons does not make it good. You cant understand what are you adding in this nightmare. It is a mess. I hope the Gutenberg virus will not spread anymore.
