a must-have for everyone who doesn't like Gutenberg

By jgastmann on December 6, 2022

I always install this plugin to avoid the weak and obtrusive Gutenberg widget editor.

Doesn't work

By janrik on November 30, 2022

Simple as the title. DOesn't work, does absolutely nothing and I'm left with the horrible new block editor.

Thanks for nothing!

Thanks for nothing! Today WordPress switched the widgets to block widgets. Unasked! The home page widgets are not restored even with the plugin. Thank you WordPress team!

Grate Plugin, must-have

By dyi on August 16, 2022

I've got no idea why Wordpress team crazy to update those admin panels rather than need-to-update other features like database ⇋ admin control option. However, this kinda plugins save a lot of time.
