Hi Guys,

Is it possible to replace the default widget title with a Text field from a field group in a custom widget. Title field have an AJAX callback which instantly show and also save the value near the widget name.

I tried several ways, but unfortunately i can’t get the right logic to do it.

Hi @vasili

In the update function in your custom widget class, I believe you can get the posted data by using the $_POST variable like this:

$instance['title'] = $_POST['acf']['field_123456789abc'];

Where ‘field_123456789abc’ is the field key.

Hope this helps 🙂
