WP_Customize_Widgets::preview_sidebars_widgets( array $sidebars_widgets )

When previewing, ensures the proper previewing widgets are used.

Description

Because wp_get_sidebars_widgets() gets called early at ‘init’ (via wp_convert_widget_settings()) and can set global variable $_wp_sidebars_widgets to the value of get_option( 'sidebars_widgets' ) before the Customizer preview filter is added, it has to be reset after the filter has been added.

Parameters

$sidebars_widgets

(array) (Required) List of widgets for the current sidebar.

Return

(array)
