PHP / Wordpress - 如何显示特定的小部件

Question

I was searching and i found this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget

Based on this i have tried several things, one of them:

<?php the_widget( 'Phone'); ?>

It is a text widget, created in the sidebar. I was hoping with this code to get the content of widget i created with title Phone but however nothing is appearing. I can not display the content of the widget i created.

So my questions is, can you give an example how can i display the content of widget with widget title for example Phone ?

Thanks in advance!

The <?php the_widget( $widget, $instance, $args ); ?> function doesn't grab a widget you have defined in the WordPress admin. Instead it creates a new instance of a widget based on the class name of a registered widget.

If for example you wanted to display WordPress's default text widget and have it display "Hello World" then you would use,

the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Text', array( 'title' => 'Custom Widget Title', 'text' => 'Hello World!', 'filter' => true ) );

If for example you use register_widget('Foo_Bar_Class'); to create a custom widget then you would use the following to display a custom instance of the widget outside of a sidebar.

the_widget('Foo_Bar_Class', array( 'title' => 'My Foo Bar Widget', 'custom_widget_argument' => 'Some custom value.' );
