It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/widget-instance/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=1187239) # Widget Instance Oleh [Global](https://profiles.wordpress.org/global_1981/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/widget-instance.zip) * [Details](https://ms.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-instance/#description) * [Reviews](https://ms.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-instance/#reviews) * [Pemasangan](https://ms.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-instance/#installation) * [Pembangunan](https://ms.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-instance/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-instance/) ## Description Widgets are normally displayed as part of a sidebar using the dynamic_sidebar() function. There is the_widget function for static widgets, but there is no equivalent for specific widgets configured in the Appearance > Widgets area. The Widget Instance plugin allows WordPress users of all abilities to display these widgets outside of the sidebars they have been assigned to. Features 1. A wysiwyg editor button for selecting available widgets, 2. A shortcode [widget_instance id=”[widget_id]”], 3. A theme action do_action(‘widget_instance’, [widget_id]) and finally 4. Utility functions for developers get_widget_instance and widget_instance Usage * [widget_instance id=”[widget_id]”] * do_action(‘widget_instance’, ‘[widget_id]’); * the_widget_instance(‘[widget_id]’); * get_the_widget_instance(‘[widget_id]’); ## Screenshots * [[ * The Widget Instance editor button * [[ * The editor dialog for inserting a specific widget instance ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Upload `widget-instance` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Within the editor, you can use the Widget Instance editor button to select from available widgets or enter a shortcode following the syntax: [widget_instance id =”[widget_id]”] 4. Optional step: If you would like to retain the sidebar format of the widget, check the Include Sidebar format checkbox 5. Within template files you can use the following php snippets: * Action: do_action(‘widget_instance’, ‘[widget_id]’); * Function: the_widget_instance(‘[widget_id]’); * Function: get_the_widget_instance(‘[widget_id]’); ## FAQ How do I get the widget id? Of course the editor button automagically retrieves all the available widgets ( and their ids) for you, but if you are using one of the PHP functions, you can get the available widget ids by looping over the array returned by the function wp_get_sidebars_widgets() ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6dbf7eec55bede15de45e3ffe70c64119ebcfc1ed578a8f847bef939b02eef35? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works, but not with widgets that need parameters](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-but-not-with-widgets-that-need-parameters/)󠁿 [jeroenm77](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jeroenm77/) 3 September 2018 Works, if you need a widget that doesn’t need parameters. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/02f1f7a1add6beadf074cfe6c5957fde3be39f84739263a073b84e538e8988dd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works as expected!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-expected-303/)󠁿 [luigitec](https://profiles.wordpress.org/luigitec/) 9 Mei 2017 Nice plugin, it does what I needed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cecc642a78e07c4546e7a53a71ae2b1dba80ea102cac14441f23f93cebdf3e59? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[good](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-2413/)󠁿 [pierrechecy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pierrechecy/) 13 Mac 2017 use with other plugin “Category Posts Widget” and template Customizr very easy ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/96f3c753920654ef8d0690b3edd5f63b2639318d9262eccf4ae94932ddbad7b6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[5 Stars Plugin.
