Widget HTML – I am on the right track. But need some insight.

  • I am trying to track down the html code for a widget. I just need to insert some <p> tags to separate things a little. The tags in the widget do not seem to be working.

    I used firefox / internet explorer developer tools to find the css for the widget to see if that would help me find the html. Thats easy.

    All those are not working so I need to change things. Now that I have the CSS classes, I started to look through my entire WordPress installation. I even downloaded the files and tried to search for the css within the file contents. No luck.

    I started digging deeper and did some googleing on how the widget system works and where they are stored. Saw a number of posts talking about some widget information in the database. So I connected to my database via phpmyadmin. I look through the tables and searched for and tags, but nothing was relevant to the html I am seeing through Firebug/IE Developer Tools.

    So then I went back to the plugin folder itself. I found a number of base64 encrypted files in wp-content/plugins/wishlist-member/core. So I began decrypting the files one by one to look for clues. One file in particular ‘AnotherWidget.php’ looked promising. The plugin actually comes with two widgets. From Appearance -> Widgets ‘Another Wishlist Member’ and ‘Wishlist Member’ are available. I am using ‘Wishlist Member’ widget. So anyway, I decoded the php file and here is what I get.

    Although I am not entirely sure if this is completely decrypted; because of all the Y’s, I do not see the tags I am looking for.

    Any insight on where to look next would be appreciated.
    You can see the widget in action on this page. https://www.wp101.com/ On this page the tags are working fine and this login form seems to be working. But those same tags are not working on my site. So I will investigate on how to make the tags work. But I still would like to change the html on this widget.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Encrypted code? Where did you get this Plugin?

    This appears to be a commercial Plugin. You should consult the developer’s support offerings:

    Chip,
    I purchased this plugin for $97. It’s called wishlistmember. It is a really nice plugin, and I do have support service. But I see multiple people asking about how to fix this in the forum and their have been no answers. So I figured I’d venture off on here to see if this was an easy fix that I was unable to find. The code is obviously there and I could just create my own widget. But that is the easy way out.

    Here is the root of the problem. This widget uses unclosed
    tags. So without messing with the code at all I would need to get wordpress to accept unclosed
    tags. Currently I have not been able to find a solution on Google for that.

    I did try getting more into CSS. I tried to add some properties to the br tag for it to do its normal functions.
    br{
    white-space: nowrap;
    padding:0px;
    }
