    Hello,

    The get_option() function might be what you’re looking for. https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/get_option/

    karimeo is correct, you want get_option(). If you print_r the returned array inside of <pre> tags, the array structure and values will be displayed, which will indicate how you access your filter and any other values within the array.

    The ‘a:1:{s:12:”_multiwidget”;i:1;}’ you see is exactly the serialized version of ‘array(‘_multiwidget’ => 1,)’ (not sure where the null came from) The data you seek must lie elsewhere. Perhaps try searching the values for a string you would expect to find. Or search other option keys for ‘%rss-just-better%’ or maybe ‘%rjb%’.

    Perhaps look through the widget code and see where it is saving the data you provided?

    Sorry my previous post was mis-formatted. I’ve repaired it, but it probably doesn’t matter much at this point.
