<h3>Documentation</h3>
<h4>Dashboard Widgets</h4>
<p>Select ‘Available As Dashboard Widget’ in the widget editor to enable a widget as a dashboard widget. If you do not want this widget showing in the available widgets list for sidebar placement, select ‘Disable Sidebar Widget’.</p>
<h4>Default vs. Custom Templates</h4>
<p>The built in template can be overridden by files within your template.</p>
<p>The Widget Builder comes with a default template for the widget output. If you would like to alter the widget display code, create a new folder called “tribe_widget_builder” in your template directory and copy over the “views/widget.php” file.</p>
<p>Edit the new file to your hearts content. Please do not edit the one in the plugin folder as that will cause conflicts when you update the plugin to the latest release.</p>
<p>Alternatively you can point to a path of your choosing using the filter ‘tribe_widget_builder_widget.php’.</p>
<h4>Filter widget query args</h4>
<p>Filter your query arguments or get_posts altogether for granular fine tuning your listing of widgets or in the case of MU install restricting the builder to one site.</p>
<p>The following filters are available for override<br />
    ‘tribe_widget_builder_get_posts_args’ // customize the widget query parameters<br />
    ‘tribe_widget_builder_get_posts’ // change the get_posts() query</p>


Widget Builder

I get this error when using the plugin with PHP7:

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; Tribe_Widget_Builder_Display has a deprecated constructor in /www/wp-content/plugins/widget-builder/classes/custom-widget-display.php on line 19 Fatal error: Cannot use lexical variable $widget_widget as a parameter name in /www/wp-content/plugins/widget-builder/classes/wp_add_dashboard_widget.php on line 5

Breaks with PHP7?

<h4>Simplify Your Editing Life</h4>
<p>Requires your various post types — as specified in a simple options page — to have a featured image set before they can be published. If a lack of featured images causes your layout to break, or just look less-than-optimal, this is the plugin for you.</p>
<p>Rather than forcing you to manually enforce your editorial standards of including a featured image in every post, if your contributors fail to add a featured image to a post before publishing it they’ll simply find it impossible to publish.</p>
<h4>Setting up the Plugin</h4>
<p>By default it works on the “Post” content type only, but you can specify other content types, or turn it off for Posts in the new options page in your left sidebar: Settings > Req Featured Image. Simply check and uncheck the appropriate types, set a minimum image size if you desire, hit save and you’re all set. Happy publishing!</p>
<h4>Anything else?</h4>
<p>Don’t forget to check out <a href="http://pressupinc.com/wordpress-plugins/require-featured-image/" rel="nofollow ugc">the plugins page on our website</a>, and don’t hesitate to <a href="https://github.com/pressupinc/require-featured-image" rel="nofollow ugc">browse and fork on GitHub</a>.

Require Featured Image

Very useful plugin

Works on WP 5.8 with build in Gutenberg editor for CPT = posts

When you remove the image the message re-appears

Does what it needs to do

Requires content you specify to have a featured image set before they can be published.
