Custom Widget Not Saving WordPress

• SOLVED

Hi,
Quick and easy one here. I'm working on a custom note widget. Had it working with two text fields, but when I tried to change the second text field to a textarea, it stopped saving correctly. The title saves fine, but the textarea does not.

Any help is appreciated!

add_action( 'widgets_init', 'load_ok_note_widget' );

Kailey Lampert answers:

For your textarea, try this:


<textarea class="widefat" rows="16" cols="20" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('notecontent'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('notecontent'); ?>"><?php echo $instance['notecontent']; ?></textarea>

Jesus, I'm an idiot! I saw what I did wrong within seconds of posting this. That works though (obviously).

Thanks Kailey!
