Registering Widgets

When you create new Elementor widgets, you must register them. This is done by hooking to the registration hook in the widgets manager and passing a new widget instance.

Registering New Widgets

Developers should use the following code to register new widgets:

/**
 * Register new Elementor widgets.
 *
 * @param \Elementor\Widgets_Manager $widgets_manager Elementor widgets manager.
 * @return void
 */
function register_new_widgets( $widgets_manager ) {

    require_once( __DIR__ . '/widgets/widget-1.php' );
    require_once( __DIR__ . '/widgets/widget-2.php' );

    $widgets_manager->register( new \Elementor_Widget_1() );
    $widgets_manager->register( new \Elementor_Widget_2() );

}
add_action( 'elementor/widgets/register', 'register_new_widgets' );

This code hooks to the elementor/widgets/register action hook which holds the widgets manager. The manager then registers new widgets by passing the widget instance.
