// Addiing Action hook widgets_init
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'trails_widget'); 

function trails_widget() {
register_widget( 'trails_widget_info' );
}

class trails_widget_info extends WP_Widget {

//Name the widget, here Widget will be displayed as widget name, $widget_ops may be an array of value, which may holds the title, description like that.

function trails_widget_info () {

$this->WP_Widget('trails_widget_info', 'Trails Widget', $widget_ops );        }

//Designing the form widget, which will be displayed in the admin dashboard widget location.

public function form( $instance ) {

if ( isset( $instance[ 'name' ]) && isset ($instance[ 'status' ]) && isset($instance[ 'comments' ]) ) {
$name = $instance[ 'name' ];
$status = $instance[ 'status' ];
$comments = $instance[ 'comments' ];
$name2 = $instance[ 'name2' ];
$status2 = $instance[ 'status2' ];
$comments2 = $instance[ 'comments2' ];

}
else {
$name = __( '', 'widget_title' );
$status = __( '', 'widget_title' );
$comments = __( '', 'widget_title' );
$name2 = __( '', 'widget_title' );
$status2 = __( '', 'widget_title' );
$comments2 = __( '', 'widget_title' );

} ?>
