Widget Visibility on Block Editor

    I noticed that before the widget settings changed into block, there were this visibility settings when we can choose where we want it to appears. However, I can’t find it now and it becomes quite troublesome.

    I don’t know if it’s there but I can’t find it or it’s really not exist anymore. I searched some solutions on the internet, it’s either to install a plugin or edit the function.php on the theme. Unfortunately, none of them work for me because I am using the completely free WordPress plan (can’t add plugin and edit theme CSS).

    I thought it was a basic widget function… It should exist without any payment :”(
    I hope to hear some solutions. Thank you.

    Hi there!

    The legacy widgets should have the visibility option, and we’re aware that it’s not working at the moment. Sorry for that!
    It’s on our developers’ radar, so, hopefully, you should soon see the visibility settings on the original widgets.
