To be perfectly honest, I think it would be next to impossible to have your theme create a pre-populated, widgetized sidebar when it first installs. However, there is still a way to set up a default widget display for when you install a theme the … Read more

As you can see here, $wp_registered_widgets is defined in wp-includes/widgets.php (as expected). You should be able to debug it by doing something like this: function yoast_print_active_widgets() { global $wp_registered_widgets; echo ‘<pre>’.print_r( $wp_registered_widgets, 1 ).'</pre>’; } add_action(‘init’,’yoast_print_active_widgets’); Then you could loop through the different stages, from init, to send_headers to wp_head and see where stuff goes … Read more
That a Notice, not an error. Turn off notices in your PHP installation, or turn off the WP_DEBUG mode. More importantly, turn off display_errors. The display_errors setting should never, ever, be enabled on a production site. That’s for debugging only.

Widgets can be used multiple times. Your options will be passed to the widget directly and automatically, as part of the $instance variable. You should not be getting the options directly using get_option. The widget() function declaration in a WP_Widget derived class looks like this: function widget( $args, $instance ) The $instance variable will be … Read more
Got it, it turns out… The label for each radio button must be the field id / variable, in my example is ‘radio_buttons’ The IF statement for each radio button must refer to this same ID – $radio_buttons === ‘radio_option_1’ & $radio_buttons === ‘radio_option_2’ My new code which works is… <p> <label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id(‘text_area’); … Read more
Well, this is what worked for me. In my functions.php file I put the following code: function header_widgets_init() { register_sidebar( array( ‘name’ => ‘Header Sidebar’, ‘id’ => ‘header_sidebar’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<aside class=”widget %2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</aside>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h2 class=”widget-title”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’, ) ); } add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘header_widgets_init’ ); …and in my header.php file … Read more
