Gutenberg based Widget editor is coming - are we prepared?

Entrada WP Theme
#1

Hi Sanjeev,

I have Easy Updates Manager and Disable Gutenberg plugins installed and just heard that Gutenberg based Widget editor is coming with a core update of WP 5.8.

Question: how can we prevent the Gutenberg based Widget editor installation and disable it when it is hipped with the core update, pls?

Thanks,
Tamas

Hello Tamas, be assured that the theme will be always updated to meet the WordPress requirements and also handle Gutenberg issues. Thank you.

Thanks Sanjeev.

This is what I found:
Theme authors who are not prepared to go all in with block-based widgets in WordPress 5.6 can add the following line of PHP to their theme’s setup code to disable the widgets block editor:

remove_theme_support( 'widgets-block-editor' );

Where to add this snippet, pls?

You can have a look at remove_theme_support() | Function | WordPress Developer Resources for general info and also remember to use the child theme for adding custom code. Thx.

Many thanks for the info!
