Custom widget in the theme
Hi,
we are building a theme and we would like to add a custom widget using your widget bundle framework…
I followed this tutorial: https://siteorigin.com/docs/widgets-bundle/getting-started/creating-a-widget/
And at the part where the widget shows up in the “Plugins -> SiteOrigin widgets”, I can’t activate the widget.
When I click on “Activate”, the widget seems activate, but if i reload the page the widget is deactivated.
Are there some other steps that need to be done to make the custom widget work inside a theme?
I also tried with the active filter: https://siteorigin.com/docs/widgets-bundle/advanced-concepts/filters/active-widgets/, but no luck…
We are using a wordpress network setup and the development is local, but I sticked to the tutorial above…
Am I missing something?
Thanks and take care!

1Hi,
found the solution to the issue I was having…
Each widget (php file) has to be in a folder with the same name as the php file. Example: /widget-hello/widget-hello.php
source: https://github.com/siteorigin/docs/blob/develop/widgets-bundle/tutorials/theme-custom-widgets.md
Take care!
