In your functions.php file try register sidebar without putting in function like this register_sidebar(array( //try not to enclose this in function ‘id’ => ‘primary’, ‘name’ => ‘Primary Sidebar’, ‘description’ => ‘A short description of the sidebar.’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widget-title”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’, )); And make … Read more
If you want to add the widget area as part of the output var you need to use the ob functions because it is echoed and not returned. Like this: $output .= ‘<div id=”header-image-widget-area”>’; ob_start(); dynamic_sidebar( ‘header_image_widget’ ); $output .= ob_get_clean(); $output .='</div>’;
It looks like the suggestion by @DaveRomsey will solve the problem. Another simple idea is from a plugin by Stephen Cronin, (I’m not related to that plugin in any way.) that uses the widget_title filter: add_filter( ‘widget_title’, function( $title ) { return ‘!’ === mb_substr ( $title, 0, 1 ) ? ” : $title; } … Read more
I don’t think there’s wp_nav_menu action. Perhaps you want the wp_nav_menu filter (doc)? function custom_novice_menu($args) { if( ‘primary’ == $args[‘theme_location’] ) // only apply to the right menu { $args[‘container’] = ‘div’; } return $args; } add_filter(‘wp_nav_menu’, ‘custom_novice_menu’);
There are several ways you can achieve this: A. Use CSS to hide and show widgets based on which page you are on. This is fine as a workaround, but it isn’t really solving your problem, especially if you have lots of pages/widgets. B. Call a different widget area in your template file with conditional … Read more
Unfortunately, this can’t be done with filters, as it’s hard-coded in the widget itself. You can see this here (currently latest version, referring to revision for accuracy over time). What you can do is you can create your own widget, with the markup you wish. You can refer to this page on how to create … Read more
Have you tried the options suggested in this WordPress Support thread? They range from copying the generated code in a Text Widget to parsing the shortcode yourself in your template (<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[contact-form 1 “Contact form 1”]’); ?>).
For example, it makes them editable using the Front-end Editor plugin. All the cool widgets are doing it: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/default-widgets.php
The problem is probably just that your code runs before broken links checker adds the meta box. Try changing the action line to this: if(is_admin()){ add_action(‘wp_dashboard_setup’, ‘remove_dashboard_widgets’, 1000 ); } EDIT To be a little more clear, the particular issue here is that the add_action() function is running super early compared to Broken Link Checker’s … Read more
PHP in text widgets involves using eval(), which is evil. If you know PHP, stick with static sidebars.
