Question

I’m a little confused with regards to WordPress widgets, but only slightly. I have a fully functional widget and Ive set to display all the relevant data I want it to, however I wanted to add some additional functionality to it via the widget control panel.

When you drag a widget to an active location in the WordPress admin area certain plugins allow you to make some additional changes to them there, setting certain features… This is what I want to do…

However I am unsure how I’m supposed to actual get my form into that area, can anyone shed any light onto this for me?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Answer 1

Nevermind, I found it once again. for anyone else having problems the answer is:

wp_register_widget_control():

Syntax is:

wp_register_widget_control( int|string $id, string $name, callable $control_callback, array $options = array() )

Registers widget control callback for customizing options.

wp_register_widget_control() is located in wp-includes/widgets.php
