  I added add_filter( 'use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_true' ); to my child theme functions.php file but I still don’t have access to the new WordPress block widget editor.

  I’m running WP 5.9.1 using the RentalHive theme

  Any suggestions on how to enable the block widgets?

  Please try this code snippet instead:

  add_filter( 'gutenberg_use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_true', 1000 );
  add_filter( 'use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_true', 1000 );

  Thanks @ihor. That enabled the block editor, but now an error message appears at the top of my wp-admin page.

  “Notice: wp_enqueue_script() was called incorrectly. “wp-editor” script should not be enqueued together with the new widgets editor (wp-edit-widgets or wp-customize-widgets). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 5.8.0.) in /wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5768″

  It seems like I can still edit widgets, but everything on the page loads very slowly. Sometimes I have to refresh the page to get stuff to completely load.

  I guess there’s a conflict with one of the theme scripts, please try the solutions from this topic https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-widgets-with-new-wordpress-version-5-8-wp_enqueue_script-and-wp/ We’ll also add support for the block editor for widgets in future updates.
