 * Hi, today after the wordpress update to latest version, the widget section is
   showing blank page with no option to customize any widget area, however the widgets
   are working on the live website but I do not find them in appearance – widgets
   section, even if you go to customize and try to edit the widget from there it
   is not working. kindly check

 * Hi,
    Even after upgrading the issues still persist and not been fixed. Just to
   let you know when i click on customize, earlier it used to show all the options
   but now it shows widget section at first and once the page gets loaded all options
   appears automatically, which is weird.

 * As i said above all options in customizer do get loaded after few seconds when
   page gets full loaded, but that is not the issue, the issue is blank widget page,
   few other people have also reported this issue , below is link after the wordpress
   update, please check
    this on wordpress forum.

 * Hi, have fixed the issue, if someone one faces this concern here are the steps
   
   Go to your WordPress dashboard, click on plugins, add new, and search for classic
   widgets, install and activate it. It should work after that.
