WP_Widget_Text::is_legacy_instance() WordPress Method

The WP_Widget_Text::is_legacy_instance() method allows a plugin or theme to determine whether a widget instance is using the legacy (pre-4.8.0) editor. This can be useful for enqueuing appropriate scripts or styling. This method was added in WordPress 4.8.0 and replaces the_widget()'s $instance['filter'] argument.

WP_Widget_Text::is_legacy_instance( array $instance ) #

Determines whether a given instance is legacy and should bypass using TinyMCE.

  • 'text'
    (string) Content.
  • 'filter'
    (bool|string) Whether autop or content filters should apply.
