Changing Sidebar h tags.

Hi Tom!
Could it be that the "Footer Widget 3" is gone...?
The rest of them still works, just not #3.

Interesting: #3 is gone for me and 4 and 5 only show their default text when I try to use them and put something in there...

Solved. Sorry, don't know, what it was, but the effect disappeared.

Interesting - glad it's back to normal now :)

Hi guys!

For SEO reasons, I need to change my widgets tittles on the footer, from <h2> to div.
I'm on footer.php file, but I don't know how to add the documentation filter, neither in which part of the file should be placed. Also, I deduct that the code is written in order to get an <h4> for widget tittles, but my source code tells me that they are actually in <h2>.

What I see on my footer.php:

/**
 * Build our individual footer widgets.
 * Displays a sample widget if no widget is found in the area.
 *
 * @since 2.0
 *
 * @param int $widget_width The width class of our widget.
 * @param int $widget The ID of our widget.
 */
function generate_do_footer_widget( $widget_width, $widget ) {
	$widget_width = apply_filters( "generate_footer_widget_{$widget}_width", $widget_width );
	$tablet_widget_width = apply_filters( "generate_footer_widget_{$widget}_tablet_width", '50' );
	?>
	<div class="footer-widget-<?php echo absint( $widget ); ?> grid-parent grid-<?php echo absint( $widget_width ); ?> tablet-grid-<?php echo absint( $tablet_widget_width ); ?> mobile-grid-100">
		<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'footer-' . absint( $widget ) ) ) : ?>
			<aside class="widget inner-padding widget_text">
				<h4 class="widget-title"><?php esc_html_e( 'Footer Widget', 'generatepress' );?></h4>
				<div class="textwidget">
					<p>
						<?php
						printf( // WPCS: XSS ok.
							/* translators: 1: admin URL */
							__( 'Replace this widget content by going to <a href="%1$s"><strong>Appearance / Widgets</strong></a> and dragging widgets into this widget area.', 'generatepress' ),
							esc_url( admin_url( 'widgets.php' ) )
						);
						?>
					</p>
					<p>
						<?php
						printf( // WPCS: XSS ok.
							/* translators: 1: admin URL */
							__( 'To remove or choose the number of footer widgets, go to <a href="%1$s"><strong>Appearance / Customize / Layout / Footer Widgets</strong></a>.', 'generatepress' ),
							esc_url( admin_url( 'customize.php' ) )
						);
						?>
					</p>
				</div>
			</aside>
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div>
	<?php
}

And here is what my source code prints:

<aside id="media_image-2" class="widget inner-padding widget_media_image"><h2 class="widget-title">My tittle text</h2><img width="170" height="249" src="https://MyPictureOnTheWidget.png" class="image wp-image-2244 attachment-full size-full" alt="More text" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" /></aside>

Is there any paragraph I could add to the php file to solve this?
Thank you in advance, have a nice weekend!

Hi there,

You just need to add this code to your site:

add_filter( 'generate_start_widget_title', function() {
    return '<h4 class="widget-title">';
} );

add_filter( 'generate_end_widget_title', function() {
    return '</h4>';
} );

You can add it using one of these methods: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Note that we use <h2> elements by default for accessibility purposes.

Hi Tom,

Thank you so much for your quick answer (as always), this theme deserves not a 5 but a 6 stars rating! :)
I've just done it via code snippet, and it works great.

Thank you again. Have a nice day!

Glad I could help! :)
