Overview

Sometimes developers need to filter the output of a widget that does not have its own output filter built-in. This plugin provides a filter which will allow developers to filter any widget’s output, regardless of whether it has that capability natively or not.

This plugin was inspired by a similar filter in the Widget Logic plugin, and essentially duplicates that functionality, but with more flexibility.

Usage instructions are on GitHub.

This plugin is developed on GitHub, and is available as a Composer package.
