Activate widget using register_activation_hook

By micemade, 8 years ago. Last reply by micemade, 8 years ago.

Hi there,

I’ve been trying to automatically activate widgets – I created plugin to work with SO Widgets bundle as framework, in a way that my widgets get activated when user activate my plugin, but no luck.

I tried with instructions from here:
https://siteorigin.com/thread/enable-new-widget-by-default/, like this:

register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'my_plugin_on_activation');
my_plugin_on_activation() {
SiteOrigin_Widgets_Bundle::single()->activate_widget('my-widget-id'); // I used proper id
}

and even with hook “siteorigin_widgets_active_widgets” (as instructed in linked thread) …

Any ideas ?

Thanks

    Hi,
    thanks for thread approval. :)
    I still have issues with register_activation_hook (I added this hook in main plugin file).
    Tried with this code (no luck):

    register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'mm_nw_on_plugin_activation' );
function mm_nw_on_plugin_activation() {
	
	add_filter('siteorigin_widgets_active_widgets', 'mm_nw_activate_widgets');
}

function mm_nw_activate_widgets( $active ){
	// array of Micemade widget ID's
	$mm_nw_widgets = array( 'micemade_hero','micemade_wc_catalog','micemade_wc_product','micemade_gmap','micemade_slick_slider' );
	
	// set each to true
	foreach( $mm_nw_widgets as $mm_nw_w ) {
		$active[$mm_nw_w] = true;
	}
	
    return $active;
}

    so then I used simply
    add_filter(‘siteorigin_widgets_active_widgets’, ‘mm_nw_activate_widgets’); , without register hook
    but this keeps widgets activated, not possible to deactivate …

    Cheers
