= PSA: do not use the classic Recently widget with the new Widgets screen! =

The classic Recently widget doesn't work very well / at all with the new Widgets screen introduced with WordPress 5.8.

This new Widgets screen expects WordPress blocks instead of regular WordPress widgets. If you're using the Recently widget on your block-based Widgets screen please replace it with the [Recently block](https://cabrerahector.com/wordpress/recently-4-0-new-recently-block-php-5-support-dropped-minimum-supported-wordpress-version-changed/).
