Custom Widget is not uder page-edit Widgets List

  • karelf2a18c189b · Member ·

    Hi There,

    I follow tutorial to create custom Widget. I get through it, build new custom Widget in custom plugin. The new Widget shows-up in Appearance -> Widgets and I can add it to sidebar.

    But the Widget is not presented in Page(Post)-Edit Blocks/Widgets list as other default ones (“Custom HTML” for example). I get through many text on Internet about: Widget, Page Blocks, Sidebars, changes in WP5.8, etc.; but I still cannot pick-up solution.

    I probably do missing something very basic about WordPress, but cannot get over it. Can anybody explain or provide link to documentation where this is clearly explained?

    My WordPress version 5.8.1

    Hello there,

    Many thanks for reaching out.

    Are you able to confirm the URL of the website that you need assistance with please?

    If the site is a self-hosted WordPress site, this is a bit different to a site hosted on WordPress.com. You can read about these differences here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    You may need to reach out to the WordPress.org forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Hello,

    yes, you are right. When I get deeper in description I found difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org forums and I already move my post to wordpress.org.

    So, should I close somehow this topic?

    We’ll mark this as resolved, but if you ever do need help with WordPress.com, please let us know! :)
