Can’t edit page builder widgets in footer | WordPress.org

Hi Alex or Andrew,

as I wrote in my last thread, I upgrade php 7.4 to 8.0, wordpress from 5.5 to 6.1 and pagebuilder from 2.4.25 to 2.19.0/2.20.1. Now pagebuilder is working fine, but I can’t edit the widgets in the footer, which I built with 2.4.25.

I think the issue is that all widgets since wordpress 5.9 (?) are only using Gutenberg blocks. Do I need the plugin “classic widgets” to edit these old footer widgets?

Thanks,

Sparen

Hi Sparen

It’ll be up to your theme to opt widget areas out of the widgets block editor. You can do so using remove_theme_support( 'widgets-block-editor' ); or via the Classic Widgets plugin.

Hi Andrew,

thanks for your fast reply, but I can’t find any kind of a “theme_support” for “widget block editor” in the functions.php of the main theme which I could remove in the child theme!

Regards,

Sparen

Hi Sparen

You can either use the Classic Widgets plugin or your theme can revert the widget area using:

Hi Andrew,

with “Classic Widgets” Plugin I can edit the footer widget, but now siteorigin contact form widget is missing in some subdomains of a multisite enviroment where they were available before update pagebuilder from 2.4.25 to 2.20.1 and widget bundle from 1.8.1 to the 1.45.0.

Thanks again,

Sparen
