Not working with Widget Content Blocks

    Hi Kellen,

    I am using https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-post-widget, and this post type shows up on the settings page, which I enable and can see the Pixel meta box field in the edit mode of the content block, but when content block is displayed it does not insert the pixel code.

    I have a custom widget content block displaying on the homepage based on a qualifier GET parameter and I would like the FB Conversion Pixel inserted. It seems that in fb_pxl_head(), the $post_type it gets from get_post_type() is “post” with an id of the first blog post of the home feed. Don’t think it looks through other post types being displayed on the home page.

    Is there a way to insert the FB Conversion Pixel based on a widget content post type as in my use case?

    Thanks!

    P.S. Using version 1.3.1

    Couldn’t see any other solution, so got this working for me. It’s very specific for my needs, but may help provide ideas to others.

    // --------------------------------------
// Insert FB Pixel Conversion Code for
// enabled post types within widgets.
// --------------------------------------
add_filter('widget_display_callback', 'on_widget_display_callback', 999, 3);
function on_widget_display_callback($instance, $this, $args) {
  if (is_plugin_active('facebook-conversion-pixel/facebook-conversion-pixel.php')) {
    $post_type = 'content_block';
    $widget_name = 'Content Block';
    $fb_pxl_options = get_option('fb_pxl_options');
   // If user has enabled 'content_block' && widget is 'Content Block'
    if ( isset( $fb_pxl_options[ $post_type ] ) &&
         ('on' === $fb_pxl_options[ $post_type ]) &&
         ($args['widget_name'] === $widget_name) ) {
      $id = $instance['custom_post_id'];
      $fb_pxl_switch = get_post_meta( $id, 'fb_pxl_checkbox', true);
      // If user has chosen to insert code, insert it
      if ( 'on' === $fb_pxl_switch ) {
        $fb_pxl_code = get_post_meta( $id, 'fb_pxl_conversion_code', true);
        // Place fb pixel conersion code at bottom of footer
        $fb_pxl_code_decoded = htmlspecialchars_decode( $fb_pxl_code );
        add_action('wp_footer', function() use ($fb_pxl_code_decoded) {
          echo $fb_pxl_code_decoded;
        }, 999 );
      }
    }
  }
  return $instance;
}

    Cool! Thanks for providing your solution for others to see.
