It's time for your daily dose of Wordpress Wisdom! In today's quick tutorial I'll be showing you how to disable the block editor in the widgets area of your customizer. While I love the block editor for editing posts and pages, I'm not completely used to using it for creating and arranging my widgets in my sidebar, as an example. Currently when you access the widgets area of your customizer you will by default use the block editor. It didn't used to be this way and if you'd like to revert to how it used to be this method will let you do exactly that. Let me show you how!
Here is the PHP code you'll be adding to the new snippet you create using the WP Code Lite plugin just like I show you in the video:
add_filter( 'use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_false' );
