There are a couple of options: Use a Plugin that adds contextual conditions to Widgets Only output the dynamic_sidebar() in the page template in question. For example, if your custom page template is named template-foobar.php, and the dynamic sidebar name is footer-text-widget: if ( ‘template-foobar.php’ == get_page_template() ) { dynamic_sidebar( ‘footer-text-widget’ ); }
Your add_action should call the function that registers the dashboard widget, which then in turn calls the function to render the widget. Right now you have the add_action calling the function to render the widget directly. change: add_action( ‘wp_dashboard_setup’, ‘draw_widget’ ); to: add_action( ‘wp_dashboard_setup’, ‘example_add_dashboard_widgets’ );
The problem is pretty simple: Some widgets do have a title, while others don’t. As long as the title filter is present, it works. Example of what the plugin might have: echo apply_filters( ‘widget_title’, $instance[‘title’] ); If that filter is not present, there won’t be a title.

I don’t know the impact of registering a sidebar other than at widgets_init. Is there any particular reason … Read more
You should use isset $id = isset( $instance[‘id’] ) ? esc_attr( $instance[‘id’] ) : ”; $number = isset( $instance[‘number’] ) ? esc_attr( $instance[‘number’] ) : ”;
If the category is Story, then make a template file, and name it as category-story.php (make sure the slug is ‘story’). Put your code in this file. WordPress will automatically display the posts from Story category using this template. (More about category templates here). And yes, you can use widgets outside of the sidebar, read … Read more
As alluded to by @Michael in the comments, the CSS classes for widgets depend on the sidebar they’re in more than the widget themselves. Those widget-specific CSS classes can be useful, but not when you’re trying to style every widget. It sounds like you may be able to use a normal element selector that targets … Read more
Your code fails because of a PHP syntax error. Things to note: Your problem is a result of your failure to indent your code correctly, resulting in things being missed.
