add filter to manipulate $before_title and $after_title in widget

[sireneweb]

Hi,
actually you can't manipulate correctly the params for before_title and after title, it would be great to add a filter to manipulate them and better if we can specify for which widget based on widget type & location more simplier.

To know the widget_id, you need to print the request with var_dump

Actually i use this :

add_filter ( 'dynamic_sidebar_params' , 'rename_widget_title'); //we use the default priority and 3 arguments in the callback function
function rename_widget_title($params) {
       $widget_request_1 = array('nav_menu-6','nav_menu-2','"nav_menu-5','categories-2');
       $widget_request_2 = array('custom_post_widget-4');
       
        if (in_array($params[0]['widget_id'],$widget_request_1)){
                    $params[0]['before_title'] = '<span class="widgettitle">';
                    $params[0]['after_title'] = '</span>';
        }elseif(in_array($params[0]['widget_id'],$widget_request_2)){
                    $params[0]['before_title'] = '<span class="title_bloc_widget">';
                    $params[0]['after_title'] = '</span>';
        }            
         return $params;
}

Maybe we can display in back office in widget panel the widget id with hover when the mouse is on the title of widget.

Hello sireneweb, thanks for your report.

Why do you want to change $before_title and $after_title? Looking at your example your are just changing the class name, probably for styling purposes. A sidebar can also register $before_widget which includes an ID and a class name.

Based on your example something like the following should work too:

.widget-title {
    color: blue;
}

#nav_menu-6 .widget-title,
#nav_menu-2 .widget-title,
#nav_menu-5 .widget-title,
#categories-2 .widget-title {
    color: green;
}

.custom_post_widget .widget-title {
    color: red;
}

No i don't want change the class, but i want to change the element. Instead of use h2 or h3 i want to change by span for SEO.
