How to revert back to legacy widgets style page.?!

Unfortunately it isn't possible at the moment - you would have to deactivate the entire Gutenberg plugin and rely on the version shipped in WP core. There's a plan to address this shortcoming in the nearest future. #24949 is related. There's a PR here that makes it possible using the classic editor plugin: WordPress/classic-editor#137

Wait :) There are two ways to get editor (screen) back:

• add to your theme's functions file

add_filter( 'gutenberg_use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_false', 100 );

or you can also access the old screen via the old url: SITE_URL + /wp-admin/widgets.php

Neither of the above will bring back the old widgets panel in the customizer as long as the Gutenberg plugin is active. This is a bug and there is work in progress to disable that via the classic editor plugin.

Closing this one since there's nothing actionable here, and the response by @draganescu above provides solutions on how to get the old screens back 👍

Hi, It's not working for me... Is there any new code to disable the trash block widgets?

@mrskt We have an updated doc specifically for opting-out of Widgets Block Editor.
