How to extend plugin class – avoid editing core files

  • Hello,

    I cannot find a solution without editing the plugin’s core files.
    What I am doing is editing the query string in the class-featured-listings-widget.php like so (added last line):

    $query_args = array(
        'post_type'      => 'listing',
        'posts_per_page' => $instance['posts_per_page'],
        'paged'          => get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1,
        'post__in'       => get_option( 'sticky_posts' )  //* this is the custom code
      );

    So that I can use the sticky post feature in WP to select which listings appear in the home page.

    Everything works fine if I edit the core file.
    Is there a solution by extending the class AgentPress_Featured_Listings_Widget in my functions theme file?

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
