Comment (by westonruter):

 @hmabpera ok, I've moved the plugins into their own proper GitHub repos:

 * https://github.com/xwp/wp-core-text-widget-extensibility
 * https://github.com/westonruter/simple-access-control-text-widget-
 workaround

 So now, here is what you do. Download the two plugins by clicking on the
 ZIP files that are linked to on the following release pages:

 * https://github.com/westonruter/simple-access-control-text-widget-
 workaround/releases/tag/0.1.0
 * https://github.com/xwp/wp-core-text-widget-
 extensibility/releases/tag/0.1.0

 You should then have two files on your system:

 * `simple-access-control-text-widget-workaround.zip`
 * `wp-core-text-widget-extensibility.zip`

 Then you can install these plugins into your WordPress site by:

 1. Go to Plugins > Add New in the WP Admin
 2. Click "Upload Plugin"
 3. Select one of the plugin ZIP files and click "Install now".
 4. Click "Activate Plugin" on the next screen.
 5. Go back to step 1 and do the same for the other plugin.

 When you are done, you should have two new plugins showing in your plugin
 list:

 * Simple Access Control Logggedin Text Widget Workaround
 * Workaround for Simple Access Control plugin not extending Text widget
 properly.

 I've tested these and confirm that they fix the problem as I was able to
 reproduce. However, I'll share the requisite disclaimer that as open
