 * Hi!
 * Try installing the Classic Widgets plugin to disable the new widgets screen in
   5.8, and revert back to the original Widgets screen. It might fix your issues:

 * I have the same widgets problem following the update. But now I’ve added a widget
   following the update it won’t go away even if I delete it!
 * Thank goodness for backups!

 * If you want to use the new Block Widgets screen, you need to do a little more
   debugging. Your theme (most probably) or one of your plugins conflicts with the
   new widgets editor.
 * In order to see what is the source of the problem, please attempt to
    - disable all plugins
    -  and
    - switch to a default theme (Twenty Twenty-One)
 * If the problem goes away, enable the plugins one by one to identify the source
   of your troubles.
 * As an alternative, if you want to make these changes only for your eyes, without
   affecting normal visitors to your site, install [Health Check Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
 * 1. Under Tools > Site Health, on the _Troubleshooting_ tab, click on the _Enable
   Troubleshooting Mode_ button to disable all plugins and change the theme to a
   default one (just for yourself, while you’re still logged in).
 * 2. Then, by using the options displayed at `/wp-admin`, you can turn on/off plugins
   and themes, one at the time and check what plugin is the cause of your problem.
 * 3. Don’t forget to _Disable Troubleshooting Mode_ when you’re done. And you can
   also uninstall the Health Check Plugin to keep the plugin list clean.
 * After you see where the issue comes from, you should contact that theme/developer
   author and ask them to update their product.
 * I understand this can take some time, but this way, you can make use of the latest
   features and also help others by asking the developers to update their product.
 * Kind regards!
