I have been using the SiteOrigin widgets on my website for a little over a year and a half and recently they changed to a style that doesn’t allow for HTML editing, so if I want anything besides plain text I have to code it. There is obviously something wrong but I can’t figure out what or how to fix. Please help!
Widget text can’t be changed in HTML format

Hi,
Around the time this started, WordPress introduced an update that transformed the text widget into a very basic version of the WordPress editor and SiteOrigin Editor widget. Unfortunately, this change does prevent a lot of HTML from being added to the text widget due to the nature of TinyMCE. To make up for this, WordPress introduced a new widget called the Custom HTML widget. This widget is effectively what the old text widget was.
