 * Dear Support: 
   **Customizing ▸ Widgets Topbar widget area**When I tried to add
   a widget to the Top Widget Area, it gives me an error: This block has encountered
   an error and cannot be previewed.As a result, I cannot edit the widget. Any idea
   how to fix it? Thank you in advance!

 * Thank you for your reply! None of the widgets are editable. They are displayed
   at the website but show up as errors in WP admin. See the image here.
