We’re moving away from the legacy “widget” rendering system, replacing it with modern Glimmer components. We’ve recently modernized the post stream using Glimmer components. This guide will walk you through migrating your plugins and themes from the old widget-based system to the new Glimmer implem…

After testing I turned off the overrides as it seems they are not recommended fo…
