wp_dashboard_cached_rss_widget( string $widget_id, callable $callback, array $check_urls = array(), mixed $args )

Checks to see if all of the feed url in $check_urls are cached.

Description

If $check_urls is empty, look for the rss feed url found in the dashboard widget options of $widget_id. If cached, call $callback, a function that echoes out output for this widget. If not cache, echo a "Loading…" stub which is later replaced by Ajax call (see top of /wp-admin/index.php)

Parameters

$widget_id

(string) (Required) The widget ID.

$callback

(callable) (Required) The callback function used to display each feed.

$check_urls

(array) (Optional) RSS feeds.

Default value: array()

$args

(mixed) (Optional) additional parameters to pass to the callback function.

Return

(bool) True on success, false on failure.
