Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Widget Entries

It's possible to add some scripting to your widgets using the shortcodes [php][/php]. All the text inside those tags will be interpreted as PHP code. The PHP execution is based in the exceptional plugin Allow PHP in Post and Pages. Have a look to its page for further usage instructions.

Use the shortcodes [php off][/php]: If you write [php off]Hola amigo[/php] the widget will display [php]Hola amigo[/php].

Widget Entries does not aim to give the inline php execution feature to the posts and pages. To do so I recommend to use Allow PHP in Post and Pages plugin.

If you have created a lot of widget entries I'm sure you are not using them. You can unpublish (save as a draft) the ones that you don't use it anymore, and they will not appear in the select box of the widget.

The capability needed is 'edit_theme_options', the same that is needed to edit sidebar widgets. You can change the capability modifying the 'cap_required' variable at the begining of the plugin source. More info You can find further information on the Widget Entries plugin web page
