Yes, this can be done. Ultimately, adding and removing a widget to/from a sidebar means updating an option in the database with a call like this: update_option( ‘sidebars_widgets’, array( … ) ) If you look at the code of update_option you see that there is a filter called just before the actual update.

Among other things, it sets up the regular queries and begins building the markup of the page. But when it actually starts looping through each product, it delegates the work to /templates/loop-shop.php. This template is … Read more
