  Dear members,
  I’m no more able to update the widgets on the left side of our homepage (seems I’ve no more wrinting access to change text).
  Any idea what could be the reason, how to proceed?
  Thank you for your help!

  Hi Helge,

  We are improving the widgets area so you can use any block you would use in the editor.
  You can still access the widgets you currently use; just click on the “Got it” button. I noticed that what you see is a blank space there, but if you hover over it, you’ll see that the widgets are actually there, and clicking each will allow you to edit it:

  

  I’m not quite sure why the widgets area is blank; it might have something to do with the fact that the theme you’re using has been already retired. If you’d like to try a new one, remember that you can try the themes without activating them by clicking on the three dots next to the theme’s name and choosing the option Try&Customize.

  

  This will allow you to see how the theme would look like with your content and how could you customize it.
