Limit widgets in widget area

  • Hi.

    I will have about 100 widgets in one widgets area (RSS widgets).

    I figure out how to display random widgets with this code:

    add_filter( 'sidebars_widgets', function( $sidebars_widgets ) {

    $sidebar_index = 'sidebar-1';

    if( isset( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] ) )
    {
          shuffle( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] );
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}, PHP_INT_MAX );

    But I will not show them all 100 at once, just 8 of them. How can I hide other 92?

    Thanks.

  • Hi, @akachan. Try adding this line immediately after your shuffle statement:

    $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] = array_slice( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index], 0, 8 );

    O-ho! It is alive! ??

    Solved. Thank you.

    add_filter( 'sidebars_widgets', function( $sidebars_widgets ) {

    $sidebar_index = 'sidebar-1';

    if( isset( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] ) )
    {
          shuffle( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] );
	  $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index] = array_slice( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar_index], 0, 8 );

    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}, PHP_INT_MAX );

    I have another problem with it. All is working in frontpage, but in adminitration too. I see 8 widgets randomly there, like it was a frontpage. It is possible to make in this code an exception for admininistration side of my web?

    Thanks.
