    Hi,
    After recent update of WordPress which brings new widgets including improved text widget, i am having trouble with ad codes.
    It is adding unwanted <p> tags even when code is pasted while switched into text mod.

    Thank you. It also solved the problem with the self-destruction of php-codes and scripts in the widgets of the new wordpress.

    UPD Ah, no))) I hurried to rejoice. After refreshing the page, the PHP code does not work, as if I saved it in a visual editor.

    Thank you! But I already solved this problem. For a long time now I’ve included code support in widgets without any plugins, only with the help of code:

    function php_in_widgets($widget_content) {
	if (strpos($widget_content, '<' . '?') !== false) {
		ob_start();
		eval('?' . '>' . $widget_content);
		$widget_content = ob_get_contents();
		ob_end_clean();
	}
	return $widget_content;
}
add_filter('widget_text', 'php_in_widgets', 99);

    So, I just did not immediately realize that the new widget has a new name. I added a line:
    add_filter('classic_widget_text', 'php_in_widgets', 99);
    And now everything works great.
