Where to put my own Wordpress widgets code?

Hi,

What exactly code you're referring to?
You can add WordPress Widget area control (Insert tab) which creates the regular WP widget area where you can add widgets via WP admin panel >> Appearance >> Widgets.

Thank you,
Olivia

i want to develop my own widgets and deliver them along with the wordpress theme.
for example fetching and showing some extra data from rest services.

first i tried the simple example from wordpress.org

https://codex.wordpress.org/Widgets_API

and pasted this code into the field "CMS-Code" under Themler settings.

/**

* Adds Foo_Widget widget.
*/
class Foo_Widget extends WP_Widget {

/**
 * Register widget with WordPress.
 */
function __construct() {
    parent::__construct(
        'foo_widget', // Base ID
        esc_html__( 'Widget Title', 'text_domain' ), // Name
        array( 'description' => esc_html__( 'A Foo Widget', 'text_domain' ), ) // Args
    );
}

/**
 * Front-end display of widget.
 *
 * @see WP_Widget::widget()
 *
 * @param array $args     Widget arguments.
 * @param array $instance Saved values from database.
 */
public function widget( $args, $instance ) {
    echo $args['before_widget'];
    if ( ! empty( $instance['title'] ) ) {
        echo $args['before_title'] . apply_filters( 'widget_title', $instance['title'] ) . $args['after_title'];
    }
    echo esc_html__( 'Hello, World!', 'text_domain' );
    echo $args['after_widget'];
}

/**
 * Back-end widget form.
 *
 * @see WP_Widget::form()
 *
 * @param array $instance Previously saved values from database.
 */
public function form( $instance ) {
    $title = ! empty( $instance['title'] ) ? $instance['title'] : esc_html__( 'New title', 'text_domain' );
    ?>
    <p>
    <label for="<?php echo esc_attr( $this->get_field_id( 'title' ) ); ?>"><?php esc_attr_e( 'Title:', 'text_domain' ); ?></label> 
    <input class="widefat" id="<?php echo esc_attr( $this->get_field_id( 'title' ) ); ?>" name="<?php echo esc_attr( $this->get_field_name( 'title' ) ); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $title ); ?>">
    </p>
    <?php 
}

/**
 * Sanitize widget form values as they are saved.
 *
 * @see WP_Widget::update()
 *
 * @param array $new_instance Values just sent to be saved.
 * @param array $old_instance Previously saved values from database.
 *
 * @return array Updated safe values to be saved.
 */
public function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
    $instance = array();
    $instance['title'] = ( ! empty( $new_instance['title'] ) ) ? strip_tags( $new_instance['title'] ) : '';

    return $instance;
}

} // class Foo_Widget

// register Foo_Widget widget
function register_foo_widget() {

register_widget( 'Foo_Widget' );

}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'register_foo_widget' );

unfortunately this didn't work

Hi,

The CMS Code control adds the code to the functions-additional.php file. This file is included into the functions.php in the end of file. To make this code work this file should included before the if (is_admin()) condition on the top of the file. In the next Themler update the functions-additional.php file will be included before the if (is_admin()) condition and the code for custom widgets will work.

Thank you,
Olivia

super!!
thanks!
now i have a workaround for the moment!

regards

oliver
