# Widgets/Sidebar issues

 * The old theme (canvas, see link) used the widgets and allowed for different sidebar
   uses (none on single products, searchable attributes on product pages, custom
   page on index, etc.)
    The storefront theme lets me style the index page fine 
   but now I cannot use my old widgets for product attributes. I must be missing
   something. Do I need to go back to classic widgets and work from there? So far,
   I’m not finding Storefront very customizable! Thanks for any help!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwidgets-sidebar-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there [@aglea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aglea/) 👋
 * WordPress now comes with Block based Widgets by default, so most themes will 
   now use that widget editor.
 * If you would like to regain access to the old widget interface and use widgets
   that were only available in that area, you can install the [Classic Widgets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/)
   plugin.
 * If you have any questions or further information to share, please let us know
   👍
