Just put the code into your child theme's functions.php </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/changing-default-widgets#post-5132 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 02:22:08 +0000 Mischif 5132@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I just tried this with a fresh install of 2.8.1, but it isn't working; I need search, links, archives and meta in that order in the primary aside and a text box in the secondary aside. I'm trying to make it work with this code:<br /> <pre><code>// Pre-set Widgets $preset_widgets = array ( &#39;primary-aside&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;search&#39;, &#39;links&#39;, &#39;archives&#39;, &#39;meta&#39;), &#39;secondary-aside&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;text&#39; ) ); if ( isset( $_GET[&#39;activated&#39;] ) ) { update_option( &#39;sidebars_widgets&#39;, $preset_widgets ); }</code></pre> <p>I'm assuming I don't need to add an action in functions.php, just having it in there will work. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/changing-default-widgets#post-5034 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:12:32 +0000 Chris 5034@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>this is integrated .. but you need to wait for WP 2.8.1 (hope so .. tested with 2.9-rare) .. the following code works under WP 2.7.x but not under WP 2.8:<br /> <pre><code>// Pre-set Widgets $preset_widgets = array ( &#39;primary-aside&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;search&#39;), &#39;secondary-aside&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;RSS Links&#39;, &#39;meta&#39; ) ); if ( isset( $_GET[&#39;activated&#39;] ) ) { update_option( &#39;sidebars_widgets&#39;, $preset_widgets ); }</code></pre> <p>Chris </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/changing-default-widgets#post-4918 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:22:10 +0000 Mischif 4918@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I am working on a child theme, but in order for it to look its best, I need to change the default widgets that appear in the primary and secondary asides. I know there was talk about putting this feature into thematic, but has it been applied yet? If so, how could I do it? </p>
