I did the last Upgrade 11.1 then saw the Widgets admin ! It’s crazy and unfriendly. I got bact to 11 and same, then got back to 10.4 and again the same. How can I get the old system (appearance/widgets) with 11.1 ?

Hi,
the new Gutenberg-Widget-Site comes with WordPress 5.8, not with Newspaper. If you want the old widget-system, then you have to install the Classic Widget Plugin from the WordPress Team.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/

Please read the description from this plugin.

Greetings and good luck

Hey Dieter
Thank you – Installed and runs waw :)))
I upgraded to 11.1 and spent about 4 hours restoring the modifs in style.css, made a copy of the modification, then added the modifications in additional css.

I just have a problem with the homepage (width) in header and footer as well as background in footer

Thank you

Hi EUCMH, the widget layout and functions were updated by WordPress in v5.8, you need to set the previews version.
Also I check your website and now seems to be ok -> https://i.imgur.com/4k4DEb8.jpg if there are still some problems, please let us know!
Thank you!
