    Hello. I’m creating my own plugin and widget to display my latest work on my portfolio website, except I’m having some issues with the final part – displaying my data.

    I’ve created a plugin which allows me to insert new data to my database – this holds information about a new project I’ve finished (Title, subtitle, href and src).

    I can echo out all of this data just fine.

    The next thing I did was to create a widget which allows me to display all of these bits of data, by calling it as follows:

    the_widget( 'soc_latestwork','title=title here.&subtitle=subtitle.&image_src=image src&image_url=image url');

    And this displays my widget just fine… Expect the issue have is that my data is stored inside an array, which I can access by doing this

    $data->Title

    etc.

    Now, how on earth am I meant to put this data in my widget? Whatever I put inside of it just gets echo’d out as plain text.

    Here is my widget code which shows this data:

    function widget($args, $instance)
        {
    
            extract($args);
    
            echo $before_widget;
    
            ?>
    
    <div class="col-lg-3 col-sm-3 latest-work-box" data-scrollreveal="enter left after 0.15s over 1s">
    
                <!-- Image box -->
    
    			<div class="latest-work-box-wrap">
    
    				<a href="<?php echo $instance['image_src'] ?>" >
    					<img src="<?php echo $instance['image_url'] ?>" />
    				</a>
    
    				<div class="latest-work-box-wrap-bottom">
    
    				<h1> <?php echo $instance['title'] ?> </h1>
    
    				<h2> <?php echo $instance['subtitle'] ?> </h2>
    
    				</div>
    
    			</div>
    
    		</div>
    
            <?php
    
            echo $after_widget;
    
        }

    Thanks
