Advanced Posts Widget Testing

This is small plugin for testing the Advanced Posts Widget. It's meant as a brief overview, outlining ways to extend the widget.

• Check out filter-utils.php for example functions to filter various utility methods from the Advanced_Posts_Widget_Utils class.
• Check out field-subtitle.php for an example in adding an additional field to the widget form.

A Quick Overview

1. Add to the widget $instance via the apw_instance_defaults filter.
2. Add the field to the widget form via the "apw_form_before_field_{$name}" filter or the "apw_form_after_field_{$name}" filter.
3. Hook into the Widget_APW_Recent_Posts::update() method to save the field value.
4. Hook into the Widget_APW_Recent_Posts::widget() method to display the field value.
