I'm using SS3.1.13.

I have installed the Blog module using Composer. It installed the following modules:
-tagfield
-lumberjack
-blog
-gridfieldextensions
-widgets
-silverstripe-widget-userform
-widgetextensions
-widgets_latestblogentries
-content-widget

I added the following to the mysite/_config/config.yml file.
---
Blog:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension
BlogPost:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension (not using tabs for spacing)

Then dev/build?flush=1 . There is no widgets tab in the CMS on the blog page.

From the lack of other queries about missing widget tabs I feel that it is something I have done/not done. Probably something stupid!)

I have removed and reinstalled all blog and widget modules several (many) times so would appreciate any suggestions for fixing this issue.

It seems stupid, and I dunno why, but try flushing in the admin too.
yoursite/admin?flush=all

Thank you for that suggestion.

I have tried so many things that I am not sure what combination worked but the Widgets tab miraculously appeared after I added (AGAIN) the following to the config.yml file and flush=all.

Page:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension

Thanks again.
