* Hi there,
* I am unable to exclude classes.
* Here is my HTML:
* > [flameshot_screenshot](https://imgur.com/K5gfOgi)
* and here are my settings:
* > [flameshot_screenshot](https://imgur.com/KS6wiA9)
* But links are excluded at the HTML elements as well, and that post entry title
is a link, so widows shouldn’t be prevented on that link.
* I have cleared the wp-Typography plugin cache, my grid cache, and all my other
caches, CDN, etc…
* Am I specifying something wrong in my settings?

* Hi,
* I managed to add the class only to my related posts titles via grid code:
* ```
add_filter('wp_grid_builder/the_content', [ 'WP_Typography', 'process' ] );
function prefix_register_block( $blocks ) {
// 'my_block' corresponds to the block slug.
$blocks['wpgb_custom_title'] = [
'name' => __( 'WPGB Custom Title', 'text-domain' ),
'render_callback' => 'prefix_my_block_render',
];
return $blocks;
}
add_filter( 'wp_grid_builder/blocks', 'prefix_register_block', 10, 1 );
// The render callback function allows to output content in cards.
function prefix_my_block_render() {
// Get current post, term, or user object.
$post = wpgb_get_post();
// Output the post title.
echo '' . esc_html( $post->post_title ) . '';
}
```
* And the noTypo class is succesfully added, yet the titles are not dewidowed.

* Something is amiss here… could you advise what could be wrong?
* Because when I added the class previously with:
* ```
function add_notypo_to_title( $title ) {
return "$title";
}
if (! is_admin() ) {
add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 );
}
```
* the dewidowing worked just fine.
Is it something with the way the title is retrieved
in my grid code?
* Thanks in advance,
I hope you and your businesses are doing well, have a nice
weekend.

* Unfortunately, I cannot support a closed-source plugin. Please contact GridBuilder
support for help with their filter hooks/rendering logic.
* PS: “prefix_” is just a placeholder and you should a prefix unique to your child
theme/organzation/website.

* Hi,
if the class is added, then it should work, so this question refers to why
it doesn’t work if the class is added, not to my grid plugin. I don’t what are
the requirements for it to work – that is what I am asking. It seems that it
matters when is the class added. I attached the plugin code so you can see when
is the class added. What should I tell to the grid developer about when should
the class be added to make it work? If he knows when you need the class to be
added in your plugin to make it work, then he can help perhaps to modify the
code. I just need to know the requirement for when the class need to be added(
not later than… some event).
* Best regards.

* [@erikalleman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikalleman/), what matters
is whether the string ultimately passed to `WP_Typography::process` as its first
parameter contains the element with the class. Since you are using a custom hook
of a closed-source plugin (`wp_grid_builder/the_content`), I have no idea what
arguments will be passed to the added filter functions.

* Thanks for your reply. In that case I will try to sort this out with the grid
developer.
