Comment (by madeinua):

 This may be the problem with my customized theme. But what I found is that
 this part:

 functions.php

 {{{
 remove_action('init', 'wp_widgets_init', 1);
 add_action('init', static function () {
         register_widget( 'WP_Nav_Menu_Widget' );
         do_action( 'widgets_init' );
 }, 1);
 }}}

 Throws this error:

 Warning:  foreach() argument must be of type array|object, null given in
 \wp-includes\widgets.php on line 1552
