I ended up writing my own custom code for wp_count_posts() and wp_count_comments() to generate the counts from scratch (through custom wp queries) based on their original code (wp_count_posts() is in wp-includes/post.php and wp_count_comments() is in wp-includes/comment.php). Thanks @kaiser for the excellent effort.
I’m going to trust my gut can agree with brasofilo. As a work around, why not just create a custom post type and then have the widget pull content from that instead of the widget’s instance? You can make it so the widget accepts a post ID # and only pulls from that ID for … Read more
I think you are out of luck as wordpress core doesn’t have this kind of functionality. Quick googling shows that there are plugins to do that like this one http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/, but if you have programming skills you should probably write a shortcode handler with/instead of the widget.
Uncaught TypeError: Property ‘$’ of object [object Object] is not a function Are you positive you’re accessing the jQuery object correctly? You should look into how WordPress uses noConflict mode. In the noConflict() mode, the global $ shortcut for jQuery is not available, but you can still use: jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(#somefunction) … }); As a footnote, … Read more
You should check out the filters assigned to widget_title add_action(‘wp_footer’,function(){ global $wp_filter; printf(‘<h2>Debug:</h2><pre>%s</pre>’,print_r( $wp_filter[‘widget_title’],true)); }); to see if there is anything unusual. Also try the Twenty Twelve theme (I don’t see this behaviour there) and deactive all plugins.
The Problem So I figured out what the problem was. In the statement below, jQuery was grabbing the first element with the id of #order_field_name. var widget_field_name = $( ‘#order_field_name’ ).attr( ‘field_name’ ); As it turns out, there were actually two elements with that id. The first element with this id is the widget in … Read more
Looking at your site, it appears you have six pairs of widgets that need to be displayed side by side and aligned at the top. There are two ways I can see of fixing this: Using the current layout, use CSS to add top margins to each of the rightmost column’s widgets to line them … Read more
Since you are using Genesis, why don’t you just use the Layout that doesn’t contain Primary Sidebar? The layout option should be available right below the editor (as a meta box). If you still need code, use plain CSS to remove the sidebar area. function remove_primary_sidebar() { //Only if Pages with the following IDs if … Read more
You forgot the constructor Example: function __construct() { parent::__construct( ‘foo_widget’, // Base ID __( ‘Widget Title’, ‘text_domain’ ), // Name array( ‘description’ => __( ‘A Foo Widget’, ‘text_domain’ ), ) // Args ); } http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgets_API
Could you use the admin bar at the top instead? To me short messages look better up there. add_action( ‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘toolbar_link_to_mypage’, 999 ); function toolbar_link_to_mypage( $wp_admin_bar ) { $args = array( ‘id’ => ‘my_admin_bar_text’, ‘title’ => ‘WELCOME TO SYDNEY’, ‘meta’ => array( ‘class’ => ‘my-toolbar-page’ ) ); $wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args ); } Likewise though, you can … Read more
