Widget Block Manager Bug

    HELP, EMERGENCY!

    Most widgets on most pages of my website are no longer displaying ever since the new widget block manager was released. Nothing else has changed. I get widgets on a few of my pages, but most of them are missing on most pages. I’ve gone through all of the widget settings, checked page template assignments, etc. I only use WordPress native widgets (with one exception) and themes. This is not happening on every page, but it is happening on most pages, and I don’t see any setting difference in the pages or widgets. As far as I can tell, this seems to be a bug related to the widget block manager. If this is not resolved ASAP, I’m going to have to roll back my website, and lose a few days of work.

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/
    It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health.
    On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, without affecting normal visitors to your site. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
    There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/

    I deactivated all of my plugins, and the sidebar came back. I reactivated my plugins one at a time, and I was unable to reproduce the original issue. I guess one of the plugins just needed a reboot? I’m guessing it was Jetpack, as I use it for widget visibility, and this was an issue on many pages, but not all of them.

    Anyways, it worked, and all seems well.

    And it’s [Moderated: explicit removed] again. Visibility in Jetpack has set EVERYTHING to “Match all criteria”. I went through and unchecked everything, but that didn’t fix it. I installed the “Classic Widget” plugin, and everything is fine again.

    Honestly, I didn’t like the new block editor, it’s very slow and apparently very buggy.

    Again, I’m using the TwentySixteen theme and WP plugins, and yet here we are. It’s fixed only because I’ve effectively turned off the new block widget manager. 😛

    If the issue is related to Jetpack plugin, then I recommend asking at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack/ so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

    OR, Jetpack support (paid plan) : https://jetpack.com/contact-support/?rel=support
