Hi, there's an option to undo Genesis's own undoing of WP 5.8 block-based widget editor by adding a line of filter function in functions.php file. Since I'm building a new site and don't have any string attached to the classic widget editor, there's no good reason to get stuck in the past. So I add the given code to enable the modern widget editor. It seems to work for a few days. And today, my widget editor screen goes blank. Removing the code brings me back to the classic widget editor which is not what I want. All plugins and site software are up to date. Basically Genesis broke the block-based widget editor trying to go backward.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.The Genesis developers disabled the widget editor because Genesis widgets are not compatible yet. Try updating to the latest version of Genesis (3.3.5). It might make a difference.
Regards,

Yes, I check and see that I have the latest version 335 running, and the problem persists. I would consider this a bug particularly which makes me nervous. I can't imagine spending the hours building my block-based widgets, and one day Genesis gives me the blank screen on them. It looks like I'm forced to build my new site using classic widget editor for now until the development team sorts this out.
You can use your own block based widgets. The new widget editor was disabled because the Genesis widgets don't work with them. If you're not using Genesis widgets, you can unblock the Genesis block.
