Overview
This plugin, usable only with a block theme like Twenty Twenty-Two, adds the legacy widgets block in the Site Editor (FSE).
With the legacy widgets block, you can use the legacy widgets as Navigation Menu for example.
This is why this plugin reintroduces the WordPress legacy Menus screen to be able to manage menus you want to use with the Navigation Menu widget.
This also allows to use external plugins legacy widgets which might not have already been converted to blocks.

In Twenty Twenty Four this plugin don’t work
by danielesestri·3 weeks ago
Sto tentando di utilizzarlo nel template Full Editing “Twenty Twenty Four” ma non funziona anche se seguo la documentazione
Quindi ho tentato di creare un menu farlocco e ho provato ad inserirlo lì ma anche così non funziona. Mi dice –> Il blocco “widget legacy” non può essere inserito.

Why this plugin exist

This plugin shouldn’t exist anymore in 2026! Just add block editor compatibility already in Polylang, this is ridiculous.
