클래식 위젯

It use to work great and was a much added addition to my installs of plugins, but since Wordpress keeps updating their core, it’s now broken. All my social links (Jetpack) icons no longer show up. I can hover over them and see the links, but the icons are no longer showing up anymore.

This is one of the first plugins I install on any WordPress website and I am immensely pleased it exists. The block based widget editor is dreadful to use in comparison, I’ve tried to use it several times over the past couple of years since it was introduced and found it to be unintuitive, prone to errors, and easy to make mistakes with. I’ve tried so many times, I’ve completely given up on it and regardless of any updates, bug fixes, etc, I won’t be using it until it comes to a point where Classic Widgets is deprecated.

Classic Widgets gives me a lot more control over the look of the widgets. I design/develop the widgets to look as they need too. Clients don’t need confusing options. I like the simplicity of this UI, and it’s flexibility. I wish this was installed by default. It is part of what made WordPress a so popular.

I’ve installed lattest version of wordpress(6.5.5). i didn’t find “widgets” tab in Appearance and install “Classic Widgets” to solve the issue. But nothing happened. There is only one plugin on the site -> “Classic Widgets”. Others themes don’t have “widget” tabs as well. Absolutely useless.

Thank you all for this.

We love this plugin. Please maintain it for years and years beyond 2024!
