$instance['what_to_check_for'] = sanitize_text_field($new_instance['what_to_check_for']);
Now I a trying to do something through ternary operators →
$description_radio_box = $instance[ 'what_to_check_for' ] ? 'check_for_counter' : 'check_for_image';
basically I am trying to find a condition →
<?php if( $description_radio_box == 'check_for_counter' ){ ?>
or
<?php if( $description_radio_box == 'check_for_image' )
Is my approach correct or I am misisng something because the two above conditions doesnt work?
You don't need to add ternary operators for assign value. As your radio buttons it self containing value like check_for_counter or check_for_image. Simply assign radio button value to $description_radio_box
change
$description_radio_box = $instance[ 'what_to_check_for' ] ? 'check_for_counter' : 'check_for_image';
To
$description_radio_box = $instance[ 'what_to_check_for' ];
