Anybody who can help me with this?
Please?
If you are using any specific theme, please let me know which one are you usgin.
Normally widgets are defined in the function file. Try to search for the news widget. To make is duplicate copy the code and replace news with portfolio in the copied text.
Also I think you have to create a copy of “sidebar_news.php” page as “Sidebar_portfolio.php” and make edits into it.
Hope this works for you.
Thanks!

Hello Kapil,
Thanks for your reply!
I’m using the Avisio theme and already tried what you wrote. But I still see only one widget in the Dashboard and not two.
I made a copy of sidebar_news.php as sidebar_portfolio.php and changed all news to portfolio. This is the new code:
<?php
/* Add our function to the widgets_init hook. */
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'kriesi_sidebar_portfolio_widget' );
/* Function that registers our widget. */
function kriesi_sidebar_portfolio_widget() {
global $kriesiaddwidget;
$kriesiaddwidget = 0;
register_widget( 'Kriesi_sidebar_portfolio_Widget' );
}
class Kriesi_sidebar_portfolio_Widget extends WP_Widget {
function Kriesi_sidebar_portfolio_Widget()
{
$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'community_portfolio', 'description' => 'A Sidebar widget to display posts in your sidebar' );
$this->WP_Widget( 'community_portfolio', THEMENAME.' Sidebar Portfolio', $widget_ops );
}
function widget($args, $instance)
{
global $k_option;
extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
echo $before_widget;
$title = empty($instance['title']) ? '' : apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title']);
$count = empty($instance['count']) ? '' : apply_filters('widget_entry_title', $instance['count']);
$cat = empty($instance['cat']) ? '' : apply_filters('widget_comments_title', $instance['cat']);
if ( !empty( $title ) ) { echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; };
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("post_type=portfolio&cat=".$cat."&posts_per_page=".$count);
if($additional_loop->have_posts()) :
while ($additional_loop->have_posts()) : $additional_loop->the_post();
global $post;
$small_prev = kriesi_post_thumb($post->ID, array('size'=> array('S'),
'display_link' => array('permalink'),
'wh' => $k_option['custom']['imgSize']['S'],
'img_attr' => array('class'=>'rounded_small ie6fix alignleft'),
'link_attr' => array('class'=>'alignleft preloading_background')
));
?>
<div class="entry box_entry">
<h4><a href="<?php echo get_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e('Permanent Link:','avisio')?><?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
<?php
if($small_prev) echo $small_prev;
the_excerpt('Read more'); ?>
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
echo $after_widget;
}
function update($new_instance, $old_instance)
{
$instance = $old_instance;
$instance['title'] = strip_tags($new_instance['title']);
$instance['count'] = strip_tags($new_instance['count']);
$instance['cat'] = strip_tags($new_instance['cat']);
return $instance;
}
function form($instance)
{
$instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, array( 'title' => '', 'count' => '', 'cat' => '' ) );
$title = strip_tags($instance['title']);
$count = strip_tags($instance['count']);
$cat = strip_tags($instance['cat']);
?>
<p><label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>">Title:
<input class="widefat" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('title'); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo attribute_escape($title); ?>" /></label></p>
<p><label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('count'); ?>">How many entries do you want to display:
<input class="widefat" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('count'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('count'); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo attribute_escape($count); ?>" /></label></p>
<p><label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('cat'); ?>">Enter the ids of the categories you want to display, separate them by comma:
<input class="widefat" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('cat'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('cat'); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo attribute_escape($cat); ?>" /></label></p>
<?php
}
}
In functions.php I found this line
$autoload['widgets'] = array('sidebar_news');
and copied it underneath it like this
$autoload['widgets'] = array('sidebar_portfolio');
Still nothing.
Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?
As “Avisio theme” is a premium theme on themeforest.net, it is difficult to find out the solution.
It is possible for you to share the theme or setup a demo site and share the login credentials.
Thanks!

Ok, almost got it working now, but still one problem. Sidebar-widget now shows all posts in portfolio when category-numbers are not filled in in widget. So that’s ok. But when I fill in a category-number it doesn’t show anything. Looks like it does not look at a categorynumber at all.
Any idea what is wrong?
