Try to replace ‘post__in’ => array($instance[‘postsToShow’]), with ‘post__in’ => explode(“,”, $instance[‘postsToShow’]), to feed the post__in with an array. Your current array looks like array(“123,456,789”) but should be like array(“123”, “456”, “789”)
Use an RSS feed widget and grab the RSS feed of the SE site. In the case of this site: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/feeds/
That plugin does not create a <form> tag itself. It uses wp_login_form to do that, and that function does not provide a way to add a class to the <form> tag. You can see that by looking at the widget method, which is what generates the front end content. I don’t see a way to … Read more
I don’t think it can be done. I’m sorry, but this widget has no hooks in there. You can only use bp_has_members hook, but you shouldn’t use it to echo anything, because it’s used in many other places, so you may break some things doing it this way. The only way I can see to … Read more
Widgets echo data. Take a look at the widget method of some of the default widgets, like this one. You can’t save that data to an array without writing your own function to process the widgets and using output buffering where the widgets themselves echo content. And sidebars/sidebar-widgets are complicated. That is not an easy … Read more
Well, since you’re talking about a widget of Links…. why not just use the default Links widget that was part of core up till 3.5? http://wordpress.org/plugins/link-manager/ If you insist on limiting it to showing the latest 5 links, you’re going to have to write a bit of code (that I’m not convinced is worth it). … Read more

Checkout the content-single-product.php WooCommerce template for an idea of what functions are hooked where. It is very well commented. When you learn about hooks and filters, all these questions start to become similar. You’ll want to remove the function from it’s current hook and add it to a new hook. This sample includes a fake … Read more
Well… register_sidebar_widget( $name, $output_callback, $classname ); vs. wp_register_sidebar_widget( $id, $name, $output_callback, $options, $params, … ); It is simple enough to check the Codex entries for each: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar_widget http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_sidebar_widget Beyond that, I am not quite sure what the question is. You might want to look into the register_widget function instead of either of those, though.
All you need to do is wrap the additional content in a conditional so that it only shows up where you need it to. You probably want either is_home() (for the Blog Posts Index) or is_front_page() (for the Site Front Page), like this: <?php if (is_home()) { // your addition content } ?> <article id=”post-<?php … Read more
