A lifesaver!

    The 5.8 WP update forced the Block Editor upon the widgets screen. I made a minor HTML edit in the Custom HTML widget and pressed the update button. This resulted in “There was an error. Invalid parameter(s): requests”. Quitting and reentering the widgets screen got me “The Custom HTML block was affected by errors and may not function properly. Check the developer tools for more details.” Using the Block Editor there was no way to publish my edits. It don’t work.

    Message to arrogant Block Editor developers.
    1) We are not your beta testers.
    2) Error messages like this should never be displayed in a released product.
    3) Don’t waste my time.

    The block editor also eliminated user instructions that I had added to the top of the widgets screen.

    Classic Widgets Plug-in: 5 stars; Block Editor: zero stars
