 * Hi,
    I have a problem with tree-category. If I change settings in the customizer
   and save them, then everything goes correctly. However, if I change and save 
   the settings in the widgets area, then the settings are not saved.
 * Greetings
    John

 * What is the “customizer”?

 * Are you serious?
 * In WP 5.8 you can change the widgets in the customizer there I can save wp-dtree.
   I can click the save button in the normal widget area and the widget is saved.
   When I go back in the old settings are back in it.
    Greetings John

 * I am afraid that you have not clarified anything. You keep saying “the customizer”,
   but there is no feature in WordPress nor WP-dTree that is called “the customizer”.
 * Can you post a screenshot to clarify what you are actually talking about?
 * WP-dTree provides one settings screen for shared configs, and widgets that provide
   settings for each individual tree.
 * Are you trying to say that your widgets are not saving configuration changes?

 * So it turns out that WordPress has migrated widgets to the Gutenberg block system
   and renamed the previous system “legacy widgets”.
 * WP-dTree seem to handle this fine from the theme customization screen, but the
   new block-based Widget screen is broken. It resets some of the dTree widget settings,
   while persisting some.
 * The solution for now is to install the “Classic Widgets”-plugin. It is an official
   plugin maintained by the WordPress team to restores the previous (“classic”) 
   WordPress widgets settings screens.
