Insert a widget in a sidebar programmatically in WordPress
Happy to update it @seowner! Could you share some more information about the error you are getting on PHP 7.4?
@tyxla I was able to fix it (to meet my own specifications) by doing this:
if ( !isset( $sidebars_widgets[$sidebar] ) ) {
$sidebars_widgets = array();
$sidebars_widgets[$sidebar] = array();
}
$sidebars_widgets[$sidebar][] = $widget_id . '-' . '1';
// Add the new widget instance
$widget_instances = array();
$widget_instances[1] = $widget_data;
It seems the main problem was PHP 7.4 will not allow you to use [] to initialize arrays without first initializing them with array().
Although this code isn't the same as yours above, I hope it makes things faster for you!

Sadly this code no longer works in php 7.4, any way to get an update @tyxla?
