Widget Development – Displaying dropdown content
$instance[‘page_id’] should be the post ID of the selected post. So … function widget($args, $instance) { $post = get_post( $instance[‘page_id’] ); echo $post->post_content; // you should add the common filters here var_dump( $post ); // more data } … should be a good start. To save the last value in the configuration form use selected(): … Read more
Call sidebar from a template
Impossible with get_sidebar(). From that function’s body: function get_sidebar( $name = null ) { do_action( ‘get_sidebar’, $name ); $templates = array(); if ( isset($name) ) $templates[] = “sidebar-{$name}.php”; $templates[] = ‘sidebar.php’; So if you pass a $name or any other custom value to the function, they will be set between two fixed strings. You can … Read more

Run an action only when Widget actually instantiated (not just registered)
I’m still eager to hear of an action that applies to this use case, but here’s a more brute-force approach, if nothing else turns up: // within My_Widget class definition private static $metaboxes_added = false; // to ensure we don’t add them more than once // inside My_Widget class constructor add_action( ‘init’, array( $this, ‘add_metaboxes’ … Read more
Options page for widget
Your widget is part of a plugin (per the first sentence of the question), so what you are really talking about is making a plugin administration page, which you would do with add_menu_page, add_submenu_page, or one of the more specialize menu page functions. That is the nutshell version of the answer. There are a lot … Read more
Neaten content — different widget or CSS change?
You could add this to your CSS: div.textwidget { max-width: 250px; } You would probably want to make sure that’s above your media query rules so that it doesn’t affect the formatting of your page on smaller screens. I used Chrome’s developer console to find out how wide the text inputs are and to find … Read more
