Extending or altering the classes added to widgets

Hi there,

My team has a number of custom widget’s we’ve created, the styling for which is all dependent upon a particular css class being applied to the widget.

Widgets from SO Page Builder are generated like this:

<div class="so-panel widget widget_uc_events_calendar_widget panel-first-child panel-last-child" id="panel-2043-1-1-0">

“widget_uc_events_calendar_widget” is referencing our custom plugin, but all of my css is looking for the selector .uc-ecw

It would be awesome if I could get a new class inserted in all of those, as that would save me from either doing a lot of work to my Sass files, or hacking it in with javascript.

Is there a filter, action, hook that I can tie into to change the

    Is there a filter, action, hook that I can tie into to change the classes?

    Followup… we believe we figured out what’s going on.

    When attempting to use the page builder with a widget we created it does not add the proper class name to the widget wrapper. The widget was created similar to below and the ‘classname’ widget option does not get added to the widget wrapper. Instead it uses the default class which in this case would be widget_my_widget_id.

    class My_Widget extends WP_Widget {
    public function __construct() {
        $widget_options = array(
            'description'=> 'This is a widget.',
            'classname' => 'my-widget'
        );
        $widget_controls = array(
            'height' => 800, 
            'width' => 600
        );
        parent::__construct('my_widget_id', 'Widget Name', $widget_options, $widget_controls);
