Classic Widgets

The Classic Widgets plugin is an official tool developed and maintained by the WordPress team.

It is designed to restore the previous classic WordPress widgets settings screens.

This plugin is particularly useful for those using a classic nonblock theme, as it disables the block editor from managing widgets.

The Classic Widgets plugin requires no additional configuration; the classic widgets settings screens are enabled or disabled simply by activating or deactivating the plugin.

The WordPress team has committed to supporting and maintaining this plugin until at least 2024.
