Question

I’m currently working on the admin section of a WordPress plugin and I need to access the instances of all of the active widgets (set in the widgets section). I’ve googled and googled, but I can’t seem to find a way to do this.

Namely, my goal is to access the “title” text field of the widgets (if they have one). But I believe I need the widget instance to do so.

Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

Answer 1

get_option('widget_text'); // as example... 

see all widget_* values in options table

$wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->options} WHERE option_name LIKE 'widget_%')
