4.8.4 Widget Issues

Hi,

Sorry for the problem, and for the late reply. We released a bug fix version yesterday (4.8.5), could you try updating to that please? https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/how-to-install-enfold-theme/#theme-update

If you are running WordPress 5.8 then the widget layout has changed in that version. If you want to switch to the previous layout, then please try this in your functions.php file:

 /**
 * With WP 5.8 block editor was introduced to widget page. This is currently not supported by Enfold.
 * Based on https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/ we disable this feature.
 *
 * If you want to use the new widget page and use a child theme add in functions.php of the child theme:
 *
 *		$avia_config['use_block_widget_page'] = true;
 *
 * @since 4.8.4.1
 */
if( ! isset( $avia_config['use_block_widget_page'] ) || $avia_config['use_block_widget_page'] !== true )
{
	// Disables the block editor from managing widgets in the Gutenberg plugin.
	add_filter( 'gutenberg_use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_false' );

	// Disables the block editor from managing widgets.
	add_filter( 'use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_false' );
}

Or install the Classic Widgets plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/

Best regards,
Rikard
