I had the same Problem with one of my Clients, and found this GREAT soluiton: Duplicate Widget. It comes as a new Widget, but has just one option: choose which Widget it should duplicate, and you also see from where it is duplicated (for easy overview where to change the values of the original Widget). … Read more
You have to search the wp_options database table for option_name‘s that contains widget. That search results in: Using the values of your backups, you’ll then proceed to restore the option_value of the missing widgets. And also the value of the option of sidebars_widgets. Goes without saying that backing up before doing this modifications is essential.
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
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

If you fill class parameter to register_sidebar function then the class sidebar-{class name} gets added to the div of that sidebar in the back end. For example if you register the sidebar using following code : register_sidebar( array( ‘name’ => __(‘Footer Widget One’, ‘wpbs-framework’), ‘id’ => ‘footer-01’, ‘class’ => ‘testing’, ‘description’ => __(‘The first footer … Read more
It should be possible to use the after_setup_theme hook to unregister the sidebar you don’t want like this: function go_away_extra_sidebar(){ unregister_sidebar( ‘Footer’ ); } add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘go_away_extra_sidebar’ ); Happy Coding, Kuchenundkakao
