I am sorry to keep on banging on about WordPress, but I have another complaint about Gutenberg.
Elon Musk decided that I cannot now reproduce my tweets on CabbieBlog’s sidebar (see 20th July Whinge), and in the course of rectifying this, I had to reorder those sidebar items (called widgets). After doing so I noticed that I’d ‘lost’ 1,000 followers in my sign-up widget, also the message thanking followers had changed. Contacting WordPress I received these words of advice:
Clear your cache
Wait and refresh
Check the widget
This last piece of advice showed I was using a ‘legacy widget’, so you might have thought with all the effort put in by Automattic the widget’s sign-up successor would be an improvement. Not so the new version, it only gives you a sign-in box. The old version changed the text depending upon if you’d sign up or not and was polite in doing so.
I have still never changed from the old ‘Classic’ version. I am hanging on to it like grim death!
Best wishes, Pete.

Unfortunately, although you can still post using the ‘classic’, thanks for that tip Pete, your sidebar has reverted to Gutenberg, whether you like it or not.

That may be the case, but it hasn’t changed anything from how I had the sidebar arranged previously. Perhaps it will if I ever decide to change the layout, which I am unlikely to do voluntarily.
Cheers, Pete.
