jeah it worked 😀
its fine for me and now i have my custom My_CircleIcon_Widget extending the WP_Widget 😀
However I think it would be a better style extending the Vantage_CircleIcon_widget and only overwriting the necessary functions. But this doesn’t work for me because the child theme can’t find the declaration / class of Vantage_CircleIcon_Widget, wich is located in the parent theme. It seems like I need something like: “Hey you have to look in the parent theme to find the Vantage_CircleIcon_Widget class!”.
Well, in case you know how to achieve this I would appriciate an answer. Otherwise, my current solution works fine 😀
Ok, Thank you.
I think I will just copy a vantage widget, change some of the behaviour and register the widget under a different name in my child themes functions.php 😀
I hope it will work^^
thank you very much, solved my problems! great plugin now 😀
