Tags can be shown outside the Post loop using the global functions. Step 1 : Get a PHP Code Widget (this solved many problems) Step 2 : Place the Code <?php the_tags(); ?> in widget and Save. Check Tags Documentation to tweak display order. All done just rock and roll.
Yes, this can be done. Ultimately, adding and removing a widget to/from a sidebar means updating an option in the database with a call like this: update_option( ‘sidebars_widgets’, array( … ) ) If you look at the code of update_option you see that there is a filter called just before the actual update. So if … Read more
You can get widget options using following code $current_widget_options = $this->get_settings(); This will return array like array(instance number => settings). Instance number refers to the $number of widget. Example: If your widget instance number is 2 then your required options will be at $current_widget_options[2] Alternative: As get_settings() is deprecated, you can use get_option. Check following … Read more
Hi John: I think this is what you are looking for (I’d explain the code be I think it’s self-explanatory; let me know if not): <?php add_filter(‘dynamic_sidebar_params’,’my_dynamic_sidebar_params’); function my_dynamic_sidebar_params($params) { $sidebar_id = $params[0][‘id’]; $sidebar_widgets = wp_get_sidebars_widgets(); $last_widget_id = end($sidebar_widgets[$sidebar_id]); if ($last_widget_id==$params[0][‘widget_id’]) $params[0][‘before_widget’] = str_replace(‘ class=”‘,’ class=”last_widget ‘,$params[0][‘before_widget’]); return $params; }
A transient is not like a wp_cron job in that they don’t update themselves when a set time has elapsed. A transient will update when an attempt is made to access the data. If you actually do need an approximately hourly update you will need to use wp_cron, though in practice it may not matter … Read more
Add this to your functions.php file: function jpb_unregister_widgets(){ unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Pages’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Calendar’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Archives’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Links’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Meta’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Search’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Text’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Categories’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Recent_Posts’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Recent_Comments’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_RSS’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Nav_Menu_Widget’); } add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘jpb_unregister_widgets’ ); This will get rid of all default widgets. If you want to keep a certain widget, remove that line from the function above.
I know this issue from this Q&A: Update widget form after drag-and-drop (WP save bug). I was answering a Stack Overflow question and faced the same problem. We have to add an AjaxComplete action and fire our function when XMLHttpRequest.responseText is true. I’m not sure about the inner workings but we only have to modify … Read more
dynamic_sidebar() calls wp_get_sidebars_widgets() to get all widgets per sidebar. I think filtering this output is the best way to remove a widget from an sidebar. add_filter( ‘sidebars_widgets’, ‘wpse17681_sidebars_widgets’ ); function wpse17681_sidebars_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) { if ( is_page() /* Or whatever */ ) { foreach ( $sidebars_widgets as $sidebar_id => &$widgets ) { if ( ‘my_sidebar’ … Read more
Background: The reason why filtering with dynamic_sidebar_params doesn’t work with HTML is because WordPress strips HTML from Widget Heading in wp_widget_control() function like this: $widget_title = esc_html( strip_tags( $sidebar_args[‘widget_name’] ) ); WordPress also strips HTML in default JavaScript in wp-admin/js/widgets.js So without a customised solution, there is no default filter or option either with PHP … Read more
Just create a widget that doesn’t filter your input. This is probably the most simple widget with user input you can build. Here is the widget I use in my plugin Magic Widgets. /** * Simplified variant of the native text widget class. * * @author Fuxia Scholz * @version 1.0 */ class Unfiltered_Text_Widget extends … Read more
