WordPress widgets pick up the title that you define in the widgets section. You can replace widget title with custom title and HTML.
Instructions: Add the following code to the functions.php file of your WordPress theme.
You need to replace the text in the code below for a custom widget title.
add_filter('widget_title', 'change_widget_title', 10, 3);
function change_widget_title($title, $instance, $wid){
return $title = str_replace('Widget Title', '<span style="color: red">Custom</span>', $title);
}
You may also enjoy styling widget based on their position in a widget area.
How I can change the H for the widget title? I have my titles at H5 and I want to have it at H3
This is likely dependent on the theme. You may want to create a child theme.
