 * Hey guys. I’ve just updated Enhanced Text Widget (4/16/2002) and get this message:
 * “This plugin provides a classic widget type, and needs the Classic Widgets plugin
   to function properly on this WordPress version.”
 * Everything seems fine without doing a thing. Is there anything I need to do? 
   Thanks!

 * [@suzyoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suzyoo/) Enhanced Text Widget will
   continue to show up on the front end properly, as it was set before the WordPress
   and Plugin updates, but in order to access the Enhanced Text Widget from the 
   back end, i.e. WP Dashboard, you will need Classic Widgets plugin.
 * Kind regards
