Adding more actions to a widget

Description

On the Widget UI, there is a "Close" button, aside with the "Delete" button, and I that developers should have a way to add more of those.

For exemple, I would see as a good use case when you have a way of previewing the widget.

Because right now the only way is by JS which is kinda of lame.

Thanks,

But wouldn't you need a JS handler for the "Preview" button anyway?

#2 @webord

Yes, but why adding the handler with JS if you can have the server generate the HTML for you in this case. Might be a good addition to the Widgets API having these actions built in.

But I see your point.

Hi all,

After reviewing this ticket, I'm closing it as wontfix.

Since WordPress 5.8, the classic widgets system has been replaced by the block-based editor as part of the project's shift toward Full Site Editing. Core development is now focused exclusively on the modern block editor and FSE components.

Consequently, the legacy widget system is no longer receiving feature enhancements or non-critical bug fixes. For those who need the old interface, the official Classic Widgets plugin is the recommended solution.

While this issue won't be fixed in core, please feel free to reopen the ticket if you believe this is a mistake or wish to continue the discussion. 😃
