Saved me a lot of time

In Gutenberg Block Widgets it is not possible to set on which page a widget should be visible and it really sucks. This plugin saved me a lot of time. Thanks you so much!

Blocks is a mess, I just want to edit my site, I have installed classic editor but my widgets just got to block's very frustrating, please please sort this problem out

This plugin is needed, forever!

this plugin is necessary forever! Thank god someone had the foresight to create it! the block editor on widgets is a mess......it completely broke all widgets on 10 of my websites....boom all at once. Thank you for creating this and please please keep it under development forever! just like the 5,000,000 websites that use the Classic Editor. in a matter of months you will have 5,000,000 users of this plugin too! that should tell you something...err...leave the widgets alone or provide a backward facing "fix" to WordPress's idiot move.

For GOD Sake, STOP BLOCK BASED WIDGETS

August 9, 2021
Why do people make changes for the sake of making a change? When the widget section is perfect and liked by millions, why do you need to change it? After seeing the new CRAP widget section, I thought my website got hacked or there is some severe error. WE DONT NEED THE NEW WIDGET BLOCKS. PLEASE PLEASE REMOVE IT AND RESTORE THE OLDER ONE I.E CLASSIC WIDGET. GOD WILL BLESS YOU ALL THE TIME Thanks
