Try moving registration of Sidebar sidebar to be first. I had an impressions that widget should move to that special “unassigned” area in this situation, but maybe that only works between themes, not changes in same theme.
It’s working fine in my blog sidebar although I needed to carefully size the form correctly at aweber and add a background colour to the widget to make it display well. It’s not the easiest but it works.
See this thread: Limit widget to certain sidebar?
I’m not sure why, but for some reason you have to use include() or require() inside form(), instead of include_once() and require_once(). I’m guessing that form() is being called multiple times, and so the external view file only gets included the first time. include_once() and require_once() will work fine inside widget(), but it’s still better … Read more
I have an ‘actor’ cpt and it seems to automatically get added to the query: SELECT object_id, term_taxonomy_id FROM wp_term_relationships INNER JOIN wp_posts ON object_id = ID WHERE term_taxonomy_id IN (38,40,30,11,32,34,29,39,35,9,31,19,33,37,42,41,27,25,36,1,26) AND post_type IN (‘post’, ‘actor’) AND post_status=”publish” Call from: require, require_once, include, get_sidebar, get_template_part, locate_template, load_template, require, dynamic_sidebar, call_user_func_array, WP_Widget->display_callback, WP_Widget_Categories->widget, wp_list_categories, get_categories, get_terms, … Read more
The output code of widget’s form method is added to page once for every instance of the widget (included the “dummy” instance contained in the “Available widgets” panel), so in your case the javascript code that defines the window.send_to_editor function may appear more than once, and the last instance overwrites the previous ones. There are … Read more
You can’t, because the wp_widget_rss_output() prints its output. If you don’t want to display ‘[…]’ copy that function in your functions.php, rename it and remove the code that adds the ‘[…]’ to the summary. You can also create a plugin with this code thus making independent from your theme.
I like the answer you found, but I thought I’d tack on another. You could create another sidebar area that’s only displayed on the front page, and then use the “Duplicate Widget” plugin to maintain two instances of a single plugin. It has slightly higher overhead, but becomes much easier to maintain for someone who … Read more
This highly depends on what you need. General answer on the question The Rewrite API basically does all the URl rewrite stuff. The Shortcode API is meant to be an easy to use extension approach for people who want to extend their posts/content with the text/html editor. As an alternative, you also/extend use the quicktag … Read more
wp_list_categories echoes output by default, your str_replace isn’t working because nothing was assigned to $list.
