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.
How to Add a Widget
Go to WordPress Dashboard → Appearance ▸ Customize → Widgets.
Select the Panel Sidebar (or any available widget area).
Click Add a Block (+ icon).
Choose the block type you want to add — e.g., Paragraph, Image, Categories, or Custom HTML.
Customize the content and style directly in the editor.
Click Publish or Save Changes to apply updates to your site.
