Panel Sidebar

The Widgets Panel allows you to manage and customize the sidebar areas of your website. You can now use block-based widgets, giving you more flexibility and design options.

Key Features

  • Block Widgets: You can add any Gutenberg block (such as Text, Image, Buttons, or Custom HTML) to widget areas.

  • Classic Widgets Option: If you prefer the old-style interface, install and activate the Classic Widgets Plugin to revert to the traditional view.

  • Help & Guidance: A link to a detailed guide is available directly in the Customizer for users who are new to block widgets.
