Hello renak,

the issue is, that the colorpicker doesn’t trigger the change event. You have to do this by yourself.

jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ) {
	$(document).on( 'ready widget-updated widget-added', function() {
		$('.control-section .color-field').each( function() {
			if ( ! $(this).data('wpWpColorPicker') ) {
				$(this).wpColorPicker( {
					change: _.throttle(function() {
						$(this).trigger( 'change' );
					}, 3000)
				});
			}
		});
	});
});

You should use _.throttle [?] here, because every control change will fire an event immediately which ends in a previewer refresh. I used 3000 here, means the previewer will only refresh once in 3 seconds.

Can explain the issue a bit more please? What is missing?

Hello mrwweb,

thanks for the report. Is it possible that you record a screencast which you can share with us?

If not, can you give use some more details about your setup? Which other widgets are you using? Any plugins active?

Thanks

Hello David,

thanks for the report. I have created a ticket for that: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27634

That’s an expected behavior.
When you add a value to an input element you should always trigger a change event.
