Description

Before we dig in:

  • I'm on the latest version of WP,
  • I have disabled all the plugins and am using a WP theme.

All of a sudden, my widgets have disappeared and I can't seem to save my changes. When I enable the Classic Widgets plugin everything is working fine. I'm getting a lot of errors in the console too. (See video attached) The data seems to be correct on the back-end, but none of the widgets seem to be rendering when I'm using the new Gutenberg widget view.

I'm expecting to see a paragraph block when using a block-based widget editor in the video. Thanks for taking a look!
