With the legacy widgets block, you can use the legacy widgets as Navigation Menu for example. This is why this plugin reintroduces the WordPress legacy Menus screen to be able to manage menus you want to use with the Navigation Menu widget. This also allows to use external plugins legacy widgets which might not have already been converted to blocks. ## FAQ ### How to add a language switcher in the Site Editor? ? * Use a legacy widget: Here is a video showing [how to proceed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-it-works-56/) ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d25a5b0b6be203c07b457fdd5c87c23f323cec0498178316943cdeb6f17069fb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[In Twenty Twenty Four this plugin don’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/in-twenty-twenty-four-this-plugin-dont-work/)󠁿 [danielesestri](https://profiles.wordpress.org/danielesestri/) March 14, 2026 Sto tentando di utilizzarlo nel template Full Editing “Twenty Twenty Four” ma non funziona anche se seguo la documentazione Quindi ho tentato di creare un menu farlocco e ho provato ad inserirlo lì ma anche così non funziona.
