PHP code won’t run inside of a text widget. There are plugins that will let you do that, but this type of thing is strongly discouraged. Add this code to your functions.php file, or better yet, make it a simple little plugin: // Enable the use of shortcodes within widgets. add_filter( ‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’ ); // … Read more
Ok I found a solution thanks to this: Using wp_dropdown_categories in widget options Here is the code I used instead: function form( $instance ) { /* Default Widget Settings */ $defaults = array( ‘title’ => ‘Highlight Category’ ); $instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, $defaults ); ?> <!– Widget Title –> <p> <label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( … Read more
One option would be to simply flush the widget code out of the sidebar.php file, as well as the header/footer/post pages if they are using widgets. However, take a peek at this code snippet (courtesy of this site), which you can add to your functions.php file and will disable the widgets. I think this would … Read more
I battled with this very same question. I’m presently developing my own ability to develop WordPress sites. My employer is launching numerous websites on the engine, and is moving me from general PHP work to focused WordPress development. The thing is, these sites will all be managed by other people, and not myself. Using widgets … Read more
See my comment above…you’re using get_field_id() on the name-attribute, where it should be get_field_name(). get_field_id() returns ‘widget-‘.$this->id_base.’-‘.$this->number.’-‘.$field_name, whereas get_field_name() returns ‘widget-‘.$this->id_base.'[‘ . $this->number . ‘][‘ . $field_name.’]’
Alright, so I managed to pull it off thanks to @toscho who provided me with this link: Add class to before_widget for all widgets with a dropdown and a counter I kind of worked up through it. All I wanted to do was add one class “col-sm-4” from Bootstrap to the search widget. is_admin() || … Read more

Try adding this line s.defer = true; after s.async = true; to add the defer attribute to your script tag. It should then look … Read more

pre_get_posts is executed before each and every query. Your $query->is_main_query() is making this code change the query only for the Main query. So, if you’re in an archive page, you’re modifying only the archive posts, and not any of the others queries (widgets, menus, etc). But be aware, that code you added there will change … Read more
Probably isn’t considered “best practices” but it gets the job done. Here’s what I did: In my wp-admin/widgets.php, After these lines, // register the inactive_widgets area as sidebar register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => __(‘Inactive Widgets’), ‘id’ => ‘wp_inactive_widgets’, ‘class’ => ‘inactive-sidebar’, ‘description’ => __( ‘Drag widgets here to remove them from the sidebar but keep their settings.’ … Read more
