Hi, I entered the section widfet to change my footer and I got this message twice. Please let me know what I can do about it.

It says to check the developer.

Thank you

Hi,

You need to check which elements are causing these.

You can test that by temporarily removing content from the custom_html blocks and refreshing that page.

When you find which ones are the root cause, you will have to rebuild their contents probably.

Thank you for the advice, I have done it, but got the same problem or ven worse-

. I leave you here the screenshots: it happears a message saying error even if inside te blocks there is absolutely nothing.

Any other idea to solve this problem?

Since WP changed the Widgets area, the construction of some widgets changed and displays this error message.

Please, use the Classic Widgets plugin, and check if the problem persists.

Thank you, this solved the problem.

Do you know if on a log-term, I would need to instal the updated version and go back to the new version or never?

Thanks

Phil

WordPress makes this plugin, and as they claim in the description, "It will be supported and maintained to 2024, or as long as is necessary."

I think that it is helpful for websites that were using an old version of Widgets and that broke after this change. Still, on a new website, it is not necessary to install it unless you prefer the previous look and functionality of the Widgets area.
