It appears that the options-reading.php file is hard-coding its options, rather than using the Settings API. And that option is using wp_dropdown_pages() specifically. The Codex lists the following arguments for wp_dropdown_pages(): <?php $args = array( ‘depth’ => 0, ‘child_of’ => 0, ‘selected’ => 0, ‘echo’ => 1, ‘name’ => ‘page_id’); ?> The Codex page also … Read more

I think it is always better to use the API, the functions of WP in this context. The function wp_load_alloptions() is under maintain and a custom select must always tested and maintain. Also the function use the Cache, if the installation support this. A good point for performance. The function supports also the Multisite installation, … Read more
Fetch current options, and be sure to return an array if empty: $current_options = get_option( ‘option_name’, array() ); Ensure desired options are in an array: $desired_options = array( /* whatever you need goes here */ ); Merge them, using [wp_parse_args()]1: $merged_options = wp_parse_args( $current_options, $desired_options ); Update update_option( ‘option_name’, $merged_options ); Of course, the trick … Read more

I don’t know how qTraslate works, but you can pass filters to Widget Logic , you basically duplicate each widget, one for each language. I have used this technique with WPML to show widgets in separate languages that can sometimes be difficult ( such as when they make direct DB queries).
