For accessibility reasons, I needed to change the heading levels in the WordPress Divi footer widget titles on one of the sites I'm building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are set to <h4> by default, but I needed them to be <h2>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The code to change the heading levels is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

add_action ('widgets_init', 'iw_modify_footer', 100);\n\nfunction iw_modify_footer() {\n  global $wp_registered_sidebars;\n  $before = \"<h2 class='widgettitle'>\";\n  $after = \"<\/h2>\";\n\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-2']['before_title'] = $before;\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-3']['before_title'] = $before;\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-4']['before_title'] = $before;\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-5']['before_title'] = $before;\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-6']['before_title'] = $before;\n\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-2']['after_title'] = $after;\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-3']['after_title'] = $after;\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-4']['after_title'] = $after;\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-5']['after_title'] = $after;\r\n  $wp_registered_sidebars['sidebar-6']['after_title'] = $after;\r\n\n  return true;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
How This Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Divi's setup for widget titles is hooked into widgets_init<\/em> as it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 100 priority is so that this function fires after Divi has registered the footers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know the naming is a little weird, but the widget blocks that you access through Appearance -> Widgets<\/em> are called \"sidebars\" by WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We call the global $wp_registered_sidebars<\/em>, which returns an array of the widget blocks, with their individual details in an array under each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Divi's footer widgets are sidebar-2 to sidebar-6. If you're only using three footer widgets, there's no need to do all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We change the before_title<\/em> and after_title<\/em> settings for each of the widget blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because we're changing a global, there's no need to return anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just make sure you update the styling using something like #main-footer h2.widgettitle {}<\/em> as it will look different now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
