  • I think if you share a specific example of what you are trying to do you will get a better answer. Pick a widget. How do you want to modify it?

    Any Suggestion ????

    You can use any plugin to do this. Like display post shortcode plugin and add its shortcode into text widget.

    If you want to edit the default recent post widget. Then Here is the path for widget file: wp-includes/default-widgets.php

    I know this,but i want to change default widget functionality with any custom code(means using any hook)without edit any core files.

    Any hook or something like that available?

    No, there’s no hooks that work in that widget. I’ve looked because I wanted the same thing as you, but it’s just not possible the way that widget is coded.

    To change that functionality the best way is to copy the widgets code and create your own widget that will do what you want it to.
