Hi, anyone encountering such errors?

It happens when I select Appearance / Widgets (to edit widgets),
Hi there,
This error usually occurs when some plugins and/or the WordPress version isn't updated.
Can you try and make sure all the plugins are fully updated and WordPress itself is updated as well?
Note: Some plugins may still not work if if their last update wasn't tested to WordPress version 5.8 because there was a big change with how the Widgets were placed. WP 5.8 turned widgets into blocks. :D
yes, all plugins are up to date.
I've temporarily disabled all plugins apart from GP, and this is what I see. Looks funny.

I've disable the Block Editor in Widgets ( https://docs.generatepress.com/article/disable-the-block-editor-in-widgets/ ) and it seems ok for now.

That's the WP 5.8 change. It is done on purpose. WordPress is implementing Gutenberg editor as a means to layout the widget areas. :)

I believe it's sorted now? Let us know if you need further help. :D
