You would call: add_meta_box( $widget_id, $widget_name, $callback, $screen->id, $location, $priority ); Where the screen ID is obtained via: $screen = get_current_screen(); Then display each location e.g. : do_meta_boxes( $screen->id, ‘column3′, ” ); Here’s the dashboard function that displays the dashboard: function wp_dashboard() { global $screen_layout_columns; $screen = get_current_screen(); $hide2 = $hide3 = $hide4 = ”; … Read more
use echo right before functions. echo get_permalink($ancestorsID[0]); echo get_the_title($ancestorsID[0]);
You must use widgets_init hook with a high priority for example this will remove the default WP Widgets function unregister_default_wp_widgets() { unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Pages’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Calendar’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Archives’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Links’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Meta’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Search’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Text’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Categories’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Recent_Posts’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Recent_Comments’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_RSS’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud’); } add_action(‘widgets_init’, ‘unregister_default_wp_widgets’, 1);

If I were to approach this, I would create a custom post type to create and manage the posts, then loop through the custom post type to show the news messages. But if you don’t want to create posts to manage this, that option might not work for you.
As you seem to understand from your tags, the user (who would need to have admin-level privileges) can add things to a sidebar via Widgets in Appearance > Widgets. For text and images, the default would be to drag the Text widget into the sidebar, then edit to add the text/image reference. To make this … Read more
