Am I the only one who still wants a sidebar as part of theme? All the new themes are way to minimal. Is the magazine style really outdate now or what?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,

There are still many themes available in our library that support one or two sidebars. You can filter them out by clicking on Filters > Columns. Here’s a screenshot to make things easier:

But what about new themes. As the post: Customize Your Entire Site With New Block Themes mentions that sidebars can be added to them?

Hi there,

You can find instructions how to add a sidebar to a block theme here:

We also have one block theme at the moment that already includes a sidebar in its default templates:

And well I started exploring that but I don’t see an easy way to use the now called “legacy widgets” on those sites. Are those “older” widgets just slowly being purged now and we can’t choose to use them?

Can you clarify which widgets you’re trying to use? Many of those “legacy widgets” have block widget replacements, so you may not need to use those anymore.
