Excluding specific widgets from default sidebar class
I coded my own answer together using a filter and dynamic_sidebar_params: <?php add_filter(‘dynamic_sidebar_params’,’io_blogroll_class’); function io_blogroll_class($params){ $params[0][‘before_widget’] = ‘<li class=”‘.$params[0][‘widget_name’].’ box”>’; $params[0][‘after_widget’] = ‘</li><!–‘.$params[0][‘widget_name’].’–>’; if ($params[0][‘widget_name’] == “Links”){ $params[0][‘before_widget’] = ‘<li class=”‘.$params[0][‘widget_name’].'”>’; $params[0][‘after_widget’] = ‘</li><!–‘.$params[0][‘widget_name’].’–>’; } return $params; } ?> The first lines actually override whatever you programmed register_sidebar() or register_sidebars()to put before and after a … Read more
Toggle option in sidebar widgets
The after_title does not go through any transformations. In fact only the before_widget does: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.1/wp-includes/widgets.php#L876 However, a little lower you can see that $params = apply_filters( ‘dynamic_sidebar_params’, $params ); there’s a filter you can hook to do your own filtering. add_filter( ‘dynamic_sidebar_params’, ‘wpse_45418_change_after_title’ ); function wpse_45418_change_after_title( $params ) { $id = $params[0][‘widget_id’]; if ( $id … Read more

WP_enqueue_script() loads them always in wp_footer()?
All of these scripts are already registered to print in the footer. See wp-includes/script-loader.php for details. When you try to register the scripts again WordPress doesn’t change that. The workaround would be to register a new script for wp_head with those scripts as dependencies (the third parameter of wp_enqueue_script()). Do not register the scripts in … Read more
Hide widget if user is logged in without plugin
If you’re comfortable changing the code where the widget is outputted you could use the is_user_logged_in() function. Something like this: <div id=”widget_area”> <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { // show nothing } else { dynamic_sidebar(‘widget_name’); } ?> </div> The downside being that this is now hard coded and you might have to add this function … Read more
Add individual tag to widget title in sidebar
dynamic_sidebar_params is the filter that lets you modify those parameters on a per-widget basis. It fires for every sidebar though, so you’ll need to use both add_action & remove_action call.
