Well, this is a bigger issue.

I ran the admin_enqueue_scripts action to dump the necessary scripts (kind of absurd that you aren’t enqueuing admin scripts by default, by the way), but this is still broken.

I am going to dig through your user-profile.js file and figure out where the conflict is, unless you can point me in the right direction

UGH.

I solved this. I’m an idiot. I had a file in my theme named admin.php that was setting up wp-admin handlers and the like for a portion of my application.

I was including this via include_once( 'admin.php' ) from its parent file, and apparently that was calling the main wp-core admin.php file. So yeah. Hours of debugging because I didn’t specify an absolute path. smh.

So! Just as an update for anyone who may be interested in doing the same thing as me, this is relatively simply.

Basically, I needed to know the ID of a given widgets parent widget area. To achieve this, inside the widget() function (in the WP_Widget class) I did the following:

$this_widget_id = $args['widget_id'];
$all_widgets = wp_get_sidebars_widgets();
$this_widget_area_id;

foreach ( $all_widgets as $widget_area => $widget_ids ) {

    foreach ( $widget_ids as $widget_order => $widget_id ) {
        if ( $widget_id == $this_widget_id )
            $this_widget_area_id = $widget_area;
        }

}

This allows me to conditionally target pieces of a widget based on the widgets location.

EDIT While this technically solves the problem, it uses the private WP function wp_get_sidebars_widgets() to do so. I’ll find a solution that doesn’t use a private function instead.
