There were a bunch of error codes in the Salient widgets editing area and I cleaned those up and am just trying to have one featured product in the slide out menu but there is a giant white element that shows up (sometimes goes away on scroll) that is blocking viewing the Woocommerce product. Please advise how to remove this white area in the slide out menu. Also the search query function has never worked, it jumbles the letters.
Add this into the Custom CSS box in your Salient Theme Options panel (We write all Custom CSS in the Live Browser to ensure accuracy. If you cannot see any changes, make sure there is no red cross in the Custom CSS Box as any syntax error would cause all CSS under that line of code to not show up on the Frontend):
I can see why those errors on your Widgets screen are concerning. This is a common issue that started happening after WordPress updated its classic widget system to a new block-based editor.
The errors you're seeing usually mean there's a conflict, typically caused by a third-party plugin that isn't fully compatible with this new block-based widget system. Since the errors are affecting a mix of both WooCommerce and standard WordPress widgets, it's not an issue with the Salient theme itself, but rather something in your site's specific plugin combination.
The quickest and easiest way to solve this is to restore the familiar, classic widget interface. You can do this by installing the official "Classic Widgets" plugin from the WordPress repository. Just install and activate it, and your widget screen should immediately revert to the previous interface, which will resolve the errors you're seeing.

Thanks for your response to the last question. The widgets section is very fussy. What is going on with all of these widget error codes?
