Hi There,
I am trying to add the Right Sidebar widgets on my website. When I add, the Categories heading and Recent comments heading are not showing on the right sidebar. Instead only the details are showing.
Refer to the link.

Hi there,
the link you provided requires an admin login. And if i check the front end of your site, there are no widgets in the sidebar.
Can you add some widgets so i can see them on the front end?
Hi David,
I have added my Recent post and categories on the Right Sidebar however the heading categories and Recent posts are not showing. only it shows the content inside it.

Ok, so you're using WordPress 5.8 with the new Block Widgets.
Options:
1. You can disable the Block Widgets and use the classic widgets area, which will work as expected:

2. Or you need to add a Group Block, with a Heading Block ( for the title ), and then your Widget:
So in the 2nd case if I add a new category or write new posts it will be automatically added under categories & Recent posts or I have to add it manually every time.

The Category Widget and the Post Widgets will automatically update in #2
Hi David,
I have added the PHP code in Code snippets and cleared the cache as well but still, I can not see Categories and Recent post heading.
You can check in frontend.
Go to Customizer > Colors > Widgets and change the Widget Title color - its currently set to white
