Comment (by westonruter):

 In regards to the plugins that extend the Text widget, the following are
 no longer maintained:

 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/admium admium] (last update 5 years ago,
 less than 10 active installs)
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-text-widget better-text-widget]
 (last update 4 years ago, 300+ active installs)
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/hackadelic-discreet-text-widget
 hackadelic-discreet-text-widget] (last updated 8 years ago, 100+ active
 installs)

 So I will not dig into them.

 These plugins are active:

 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tm-woocommerce-package tm-woocommerce-
 package] (3,000+ active installs)
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-sidebars content-sidebars] (20+
 active installs)
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-access-control simple-access-
 control] (1,000+ active installs)

 The two themes are both inactive, but I'll check them out regardless:

 * [https://wordpress.org/themes/annotum-base/ annotum-base] (not updated
 2+ years, 600+ installs)
 * [https://wordpress.org/themes/shprink-one/ shprink-one] (not updated 3+
 years, 200+ installs)
