Ever wondered how to get php code working in the WordPress text widget? There are some plugins out there wich enable this simple functionality, but why using a plugin if it’s so easy to implement by yourself!
You just have to insert the following code to your functions.php:
// Add PHP functionality to text widget function execute_php($html){ if(strpos($html,"<"."?php")!==false){ ob_start(); eval("?".">".$html); $html=ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); } return $html; } add_filter('widget_text','execute_php',100);
Happy PHP-ing!
