 * I’m getting this issue when I try to save other widgets, not the JetPack widgets.

 * Are you using Widget Visibility on your site currently? If not, the quick option
   may be to simply deactivate that module.
 * Does this happen for all widgets, only particular ones, or literally all widgets
   except for the Jetpack ones? In particular, does this occur with the default 
   widgets (the Text Widget being an example)?
 * Thanks!
