The Classic Widgets plugin is an official WordPress tool that reinstates the traditional widget management interface, replacing the block-based widget editor introduced in WordPress 5.8. Ideal for users who prefer the simplicity and familiarity of the classic widget system, this plugin restores the previous widgets settings screens in both the Appearance → Widgets and the Customizer sections. Once activated, it seamlessly disables the block editor for widgets without requiring any additional configuration. Maintained by the WordPress team, Classic Widgets is supported through 2024 or as long as necessary, ensuring a stable and user-friendly experience for those favoring the legacy widget interface.
