• I created a custom Flickr Widget for WordPress and successfully set up an options form for users to enter their Flickr information, but I cannot get the checkbox in the form to save whether or not it is checked. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here are my widget(), form(), and update() functions:

    function widget($args, $instance) {
        extract($args);
    
        $title = apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title']);
        $displaynum = $instance['displaynum'];
        $flickrid = $instance['flickrname'];
        $num = 6;
        $feed = new SimplePie($instance['feed']);
        $feed->handle_content_type();
        $photostream = $instance['show_photostream'];
    
    function update($new_instance, $old_instance) {
        $instance = $old_instance;
    
        $instance['title'] = strip_tags($new_instance['title'] );
        $instance['displaynum'] = strip_tags($new_instance['displaynum'] );
        $instance['feed'] = $new_instance['feed'];
        $instance['flickrname'] = $new_instance['flickrname'];
        $instance['show_photostream'] = (bool) $new_instance['show_photostream'];
    
        return $instance;
    }
    
    function form($instance) {
        $defaults = array (
            'title' => 'My Recent Flickr Uploads',
            'displaynum' => 6,
            'feed' => 'https://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=33927859@N06&lang=en-us&format=rss_200',
            'flickrname' => 'rastajellyfish',
            'show_photostream' => isset( $instance['show_photostream'] ) ? (bool) $instance['show_photostream'] : false
        );
        $instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, $defaults); ?>

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
