X3P0 Legacy Widget enables the core WordPress Legacy Widget block for the WordPress block editor. It is meant to be used alongside a block-based theme, such as Twenty Twenty-Two, so that users can embed classic widgets into their sites via the site editor (Appearance > Editor).
This plugin is mostly useful when working with third-party plugins that register custom widgets that have yet to be ported to the block system. This is meant to be a temporary fix, at least until developers update their plugins to support the block system. Please talk to your plugin developers and find out whether they have plans to do so in the long term. If not, you should look for alternative plugins that create block versions of the features you need. This plugin is meant as a transitioning tool, not something to rely on forever.
Note #1: The Legacy Widget block is a core WordPress (Gutenberg) block and not created by this plugin. For known issues or tickets related to the block itself, see the <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/labels/%5BBlock%5D%20Legacy%20Widget" rel="nofollow ugc">Legacy Widget label</a> in the Gutenberg project repository.
Note #2: Widget options do not appear when used with the post/page editor. However, widget options are available via the site editor (Appearance > Editor). When used in a post/page, this means that users are stuck with whatever the widget’s default options are.
Note #3: Not all third-party widgets from plugins/themes will work in the editor. This is more likely an issue with those that use custom JavaScript. Please encourage plugin authors to migrate their plugins to custom block types.

Really happy with the blocks and designs. 


Nice set of blocks.

Very good plugin


Whenever I need help I submit a ticket and receive an answer in the middle of the night by a very knowledgeable person on the other end of the world.


Fantastic support


I push Kadence blocks pretty hard, and invariably break something, but EVERY TIME I go to support with my weird need they come up with a solution that's simple and elegant.  Love it.


Excellent functionality, excellent support


I have been adapting to Kadence Blocks for a while, and recently, their support for Query Loops and Dynamic Elements improved a lot. The support team is responsive and helpful in sorting things out. I would highly request a source code display block for Kadence, one of the missing elements of many extensive block collections. Overall, they did an excellent job, even in the free version. I hoped they would make a rating block for dynamic data (ACF/Metabox) usage.


Great Collection For Daily Uses


Just use Kadence, it's the missing piece, and last time you should ever need to look at WordPress themes. Happy with everything they've built so far, and everything they evolve from feedback. Truly the best find in all my web design years.


The world's a better place with Kadence theme, blocks, and crew


This set of blocks are fantastic, but the best value is the support. I made three or four technical questions to support, and they responded me very accurate and fast, and in one of these questions, they added the needed filter to the plugin that they released the next day. Stunning and awesome support!!!


Fantastic support and very fast


The plugin is the most important enhancement for the block editor for developing corporate websites. We have been using it for several years on dozens of projects. Apart from that, the support is also great: I received a perfect customized solution for a special request on the same day.


Perfect for block editor and awesome support


I also have the PRO version of the plugin. After doing at least 30 sites with them, I have come to the conclusion that it is very comfortable but on some things we are still not there. It is full of bugs, even basic ones, it is not as performant as before. If you have complex pages you are forced to wait!



And it is not the server's fault because I am on a PC with 128GB of memory locally with a top processor and graphics card. It's just that it's not performing. You have to work on this, otherwise the product is nice but not usable.


A good idea but not performant


The plugin is an essential part of my WP site stack. It works, kinks are sorted out with time.



Some features are rolled out slower than others, but the same can be said of any other software or plugin.


Works well, constantly updates


Kadence Blocks works great with any theme and of course exceptionally well with the Kadence theme. 


Great Blocks Collection


This is a good plugin for wordpress blocks
