wordpress count widgets
wp_get_sidebars_widgets()
Will give you an array of the sidebars and the widgets they have, just count the array for the appropriate sidebar..
For example:
$the_sidebars = wp_get_sidebars_widgets();echo count( $the_sidebars['my-sidebar-id'] );
The ID is the one you declare when you register the sidebar(so check your sidebar registration code).
You could also wrap this into a function.
function count_sidebar_widgets( $sidebar_id, $echo = true ) { $the_sidebars = wp_get_sidebars_widgets(); if( !isset( $the_sidebars[$sidebar_id] ) ) return __( 'Invalid sidebar ID' ); if( $echo ) echo count( $the_sidebars[$sidebar_id] ); else return count( $the_sidebars[$sidebar_id] );}
Then call it when you need to get the count, using the sidebar ID..
count_sidebar_widgets( 'some-sidebar-id' );
Or store in variable for other usage..
$my_var = count_sidebar_widgets( 'some-sidebar-id', false );
Hope that helps..
