Check your template file from your theme. There may be some widgets being added in there manually if no other widgets are enabled. If that’s the case modify the conditional statement in your sidebar template so your widgets are output after the defaults set there. @s_ha_dum basically got to the bottom of it.
You’re actually quite close to answering your own question. Your plugin would have to start with checking whether the plugin is active (which you can also do with function_exists). The you indeed can use remove_action to make sure functions and classes aren’t activated. This doesn’t mean these functions become undefined. So yes, you will need … Read more
I don’t think it is possible in a nice user friendly way. WordPress admin screen and the customizer assume that any widget can get into any sidebar and will show them as part of the admin, so even if you filter out the widgets you do not want, it will probably create a lot of … Read more
You are overthinking it. The concept of widgets is designed to be transferable between widget area (AKA sidebars). If a widget is not tranferable it is just not a true wordpress widget. Now creating your own framework of widgets sound like a non pleasant idea. In addition to fighting the wordpress core code, you will … Read more
I did this for a client and it looked like this: The PHP code: <dl class=”tree-accordion”> <?php $currentyear = date(“Y”); $years = range($currentyear, 1950); foreach($years as $year) { ?> <dt><a href=””><i class=”fa fa-fw fa-plus-square-o” aria-hidden=”true”></i> <?php echo $year; ?></a></dt> <?php $archi = wp_get_archives(‘echo=0&show_post_count=1&type=monthly&year=” . $year); $archi = explode(“</li>’, $archi); $links = array(); foreach($archi as $link) … Read more
Using conditional tag in_the_loop inside your shortcode function may serve the purpose. if( in_the_loop() ) { //add stylesheet for post/page here… } else { //add stylesheet for widget here… }
Widgets are stored in the wp_options table ( assuming the database prefix is wp_ ). You can retrieve the option, and remove the widgets manually: // Get all the associated widgets $sidebar_widgets = get_option ( ‘sidebars_widgets’ ); // Check this specific sidebar if ( isset( $sidebar_widgets [ ‘lateral-header-sidebar’ ] ) ) { unset ( $sidebar_widgets … Read more
You are adding filter, not an action. I don’t know how Genesis hook works, but native wp_nav_menu_items passes (and expects back) markup of custom menu items. Instead of echoing your additional stuff you should append it to input and return. This is clearly how it’s done in tutorial you linked to: add_filter(‘wp_nav_menu_items’,’follow_icons’,10,1); function follow_icons($output) { … Read more
I see three main ways to handle front-end form submissions in a widget: A regular form that submits via POST and reloads the whole page. Easy to understand, easy to create, but not a nice user experience. Load your widget in a iframe, so that a form submission only reloads the iframe. Some external providers … Read more
After a few var_dumps I know this: 1) When wp_list_bookmarks is called whithin WP_Widget_Links->widget The ‘class’ parameter is ignored because the ‘category_before’ parameter doesn’t have the %class wildcard. Instead ‘category_before’ will look as if ‘class’ where ‘widget_links’. This is how the function dynamic_sidebar set the $before_widget parameters for the widget once it gets called. Of … Read more
