Title: Widget Block Manager Bug Last modified: September 18, 2021 --- # Widget Block Manager Bug * Resolved [Chris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ledhdtvreviewsblog/) * (@ledhdtvreviewsblog) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-block-manager-bug/) * HELP, EMERGENCY! * Most widgets on most pages of my website are no longer displaying ever since the new widget block manager was released. Nothing else has changed. I get widgets on a few of my pages, but most of them are missing on most pages. I’ve gone through all of the widget settings, checked page template assignments, etc. I only use WordPress native widgets (with one exception) and themes. This is not happening on every page, but it is happening on most pages, and I don’t see any setting difference in the pages or widgets. As far as I can tell, this seems to be a bug related to the widget block manager. If this is not resolved ASAP, I’m going to have to roll back my website, and lose a few days of work. - This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/).

Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles. * If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health. On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, **without affecting normal visitors to your site**. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues. There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at [https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/) * Thread Starter [Chris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ledhdtvreviewsblog/) * (@ledhdtvreviewsblog) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-block-manager-bug/#post-14885347) * I deactivated all of my plugins, and the sidebar came back. I reactivated my plugins one at a time, and I was unable to reproduce the original issue. I guess one of the plugins just needed a reboot? I’m guessing it was Jetpack, as I use it for widget visibility, and this was an issue on many pages, but not all of them. * Anyways, it worked, and all seems well. * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-block-manager-bug/#post-14885355) * Glad its sorted 🙂 * Thread Starter [Chris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ledhdtvreviewsblog/) * (@ledhdtvreviewsblog) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-block-manager-bug/#post-14885443) * And it’s **[Moderated: explicit removed]** again. Visibility in Jetpack has set EVERYTHING to “Match all criteria”. I went through and unchecked everything, but that didn’t fix it. I installed the “Classic Widget” plugin, and everything is fine again. * Honestly, I didn’t like the new block editor, it’s very slow and apparently very buggy. * Again, I’m using the TwentySixteen theme and WP plugins, and yet here we are. It’s fixed only because I’ve effectively turned off the new block widget manager. 😛 - This reply was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/). * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-block-manager-bug/#post-14885479) * If the issue is related to Jetpack plugin, then I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack/) so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this. * OR, Jetpack support (**paid plan**) : [https://jetpack.com/contact-support/?rel=support](https://jetpack.com/contact-support/?rel=support) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘Widget Block Manager Bug’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [block](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/block/) * [widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/widget/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 5 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * Last activity: [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-block-manager-bug/#post-14885479) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
