Código para publicaciones recientes Widget

El código predeterminado del widget de publicaciones recientes se encuentra en includes/default-widgets.php pero no deberías estar hackeando el código Core. Copie esa función al functions.php de su tema, renómbrela y cree su propio widget personalizado.

Eche un vistazo a wp-includes\default-widgets.php .

Cómo bifurcar un widget de núcleo

Comience con la entrada de Codex en la API de widgets .

1. Renombrar el widget

   Cambia esto:

   class WP_Widget_Recent_Posts extends WP_Widget {}
   

   ... a esto:

   class wpse97411_Widget_Recent_Posts extends WP_Widget {}
   

2. Modifique la clase de widget para satisfacer sus necesidades

3. Registre su Widget:

   function wpse97413_register_custom_widgets() {
       register_widget( 'wpse97411_Widget_Recent_Posts' );
   }
   add_action( 'widgets_init', 'wpse97413_register_custom_widgets' );
