Overview

DMG Text Widget replaces the standard text widget with one that includes advanced options to apply a CSS class, add paragraphs, apply shortcodes, hide the title and make the title a link.

Two hooks are available to filter the title and text; dmg_text_widget_title for the title and dmg_text_widget_text for the text.

For example, to change the title on a single page or post, you could add this to your functions.php file:

function myTitleFilter( $title )
{
    if( is_singular() )
    {
        return "<strong>$title</strong>";
    }
    else
    {
        return $title;      
    }
}
add_filter( 'dmg_text_widget_title' , 'myTitleFilter');
