Multiple entries in get_option results? or why is _multiwidget set to 1?

I found the answer. Multiwidget is a nice new feature within wordpress’ new widget API. Yet there is sparse documentation on how to use it. $options = get_option( ‘your_option_id’ ); if( isset($options) && isset($options[$this->number])) { //$this->number returns the unique widget id that corresponds to the database index $instance_options = $options[$this->number]; } //now use $instance_options[‘setting’]

Comma seperated list of ID’s as an array?

WP has a lot of nifty functions in the corners for such stuff. Try this: if ( !empty( $categories ) ) { $excluded_categories = wp_list_pluck( $categories, ‘term_id’); $excluded_categories = implode(‘,’, $excluded_categories); }
