  1. POWhere do I put my custom widget code for my wordpress theme?
    text
    copied!<p>I am creating a custom widget for my wordpress theme. The code I have breaks at a certain point.</p> <p>I do not want to package the widget as a plugin so I am putting my code in the functions.php file.</p> <p>This is my code:</p> <pre><code>class gmp_widget extends WP_Widget { function gmp_widget() { // widget actual processes $widget_ops = array('classname' =&gt; 'gmp_widget', 'description' =&gt; __('Example widget that displays a user\'s bio.','gmp-plugin')); $this-&gt;WP_Widget('gmp_widget_bio', __('Bio Widget','gmp-plugin'), $widget_ops); } public function form( $instance ) { // outputs the options form on admin $defaults = array( 'title' =&gt; __('My Bio', 'gmp-plugin'), 'name' =&gt; '', 'bio' =&gt; ''); $instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, $defaults); $title = strip_tags($instance['title']); $name = strip_tags($instance['name']); $bio = strip_tags($instance['bio']); &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php _e('Title', 'gmp-plugin') ?&gt;: &lt;input class="widefat" name="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;get_field_name('title'); ?&gt;" type="text" value="&lt;?php echo esc_attr($name); ?&gt;"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php _e('Name', 'gmp-plugin') ?&gt;: &lt;input class="widefat" name="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;get_field_name('name'); ?&gt;" type="text" value="&lt;?php echo esc_attr($name); ?&gt;"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php _e('Bio', 'gmp-plugin') ?&gt;: &lt;textarea class="widefat" name="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;get_field_name('bio'); ?&gt;" &lt;?php echo esc_attr($title); ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/p&gt; } public function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) { // processes widget options to be saved $instance = array(); $instance['title'] = strip_tags($new_instance['title']); $instance['name'] = strip_tags($new_instance['name']); $instance['bio'] = strip_tags($new_instance['bio']); return $instance; } public function widget( $args, $instance ) { // outputs the content of the widget extract($args); echo $before_widget; $title = apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title'] ); $name = empty($instance['name']) ? '&amp;nbsp;' : apply_filters('widget_name', $instance['name']); $bio = empty($instance['bio']) ? '&amp;nbsp;' : apply_filters('widget_bio', $instance['bio']); if ( !empty( $title ) ) { echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; }; echo '&lt;p&gt;' .__('Name', 'gmp-plugin') .': ' . $name . '&lt;/p&gt;'; echo '&lt;p&gt;' .__('Bio', 'gmp-plugin') .': ' . $bio . '&lt;/p&gt;'; echo $after_widget; } } </code></pre> <p>When it gets to the function form ($instance) I can see that the p tags are giving a syntax error as all the code below this goes from looking correct and all the right colour to black in my text editor which tells me there is a problem somewhere but I cannot figure out what it is. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!</p>
