[Resolved] How to implement instead of for footer widgets

[Greg]

Hi,

Currently <h2> is being used for the titles of footer widgets. For example, down in the footer there is a column/widget with <h2>Pages</h2> followed by “Terms and Conditions,” “Cookie Policy,” etc. (unordered list).

I didn’t find how to change the element of the widget title, e.g., change it to <p>Pages</p>. Is this possible in GeneratePress? Thanks

Hi there,

theres not one specifically for the Footer widgets, but you can change all widget titles ( this will apply to any widget areas ) by adding this PHP Snippet:

add_filter( 'generate_start_widget_title', 'widget_title_start_tag' );
function widget_title_start_tag()
{ 
    return '<p>';
}

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

Alternatively you can NOT add a title and insert your own HTML block above the widget to add your own title.

Thanks!

May I ask which file that goes into, and should I create a child theme?

[David]

This article explains how to add that code ( PHP ):

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

TLDR: If you have a Child Theme it will go in the Child Themes functions.php – if you don’t want a child theme then use the Code Snippets plugin ( link in the above doc )

Ok, thanks!

You’re welcome
