> Usually I am fast with updating websites, but this 'handy' Text Widget
is a game-changer. Basically I feel punished for knowing and using html
now.
>
> I tested a simple thing like :
> <span class="sectiondown"><a href="#front-page-3"><i class="fa fa-
chevron-circle-down"></i></a></span>
>
> It was invisible in the editor until I clicked save, then it appeared
and had been wrapped in <code> tags thus changing the visual output. And
next on opening the widget it was invisible again.
> So I have convinced my clients to update their sites, and now I can not
until I have manually checked and fixed a 100+ Genesis websites...which is
going to take me days.
> (Who is the genius that wanted this new widget?)
