Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

DMG Text Widget replaces the standard text widget with one that includes advanced options to apply a CSS class, add paragraphs, apply shortcodes, hide the title and make the title a link.

Two hooks are available to filter the title and text; dmg_text_widget_title for the title and dmg_text_widget_text for the text.

php file:

function myTitleFilter( $title ) { if( is_singular() ) { return "<strong>$title</strong>"; } else { return $title; } } add_filter( 'dmg_text_widget_title', 'myTitleFilter');

com/tag/dmg-text-widget/.

Adding CSS Class(es)

Enter strings, either space or comma separated, which will be applied as CSS classes to the widget wrapper. These classes are sanitized using the sanitize_html_class() function built in to WordPress.

Make the Title a link

Enter a valid URL to make the title a link.

Automatically add paragraphs

This setting automatically adds paragraph tags to any text. This uses the WordPress wpautop() function.

Apply shortcodes

This setting processes the text and applies any shortcodes found.

Show the Title

This setting controls the visibility of the widget title. If unchecked, the title (including the before_title and after_title code defined when registering the sidebar) will not be displayed.
