 * Hy,
    I have a question regarding the output of `yith_similar_products` shortcode.
   Now the title of similar products is wraped in h2 tags. I want to modify the 
   markup and add my own. Is there a way to do that?
 * I see YITH_WRVP_Frontend function is called in class.yith-wrvp-frontend.php but
   I cannot override get_instance() in order to modify the content.
 * Thx!

 * Hi,
    the right method to do this is to override class method similar_products()
   or to create your own shortcode. For example add on your theme’s functions.php
   this code
 *     ```
       if( function_exists('YITH_WRVP_Frontend')) {
   
       add_shortcode( 'custom_yith_similar_products', 'custom_yith_similar_products_function' );
       function custom_yith_similar_products_function(){
       	extract( shortcode_atts(array(
       				'posts_per_page' => get_option( 'yith-wrvp-num-products', '4' ),
       				'orderby' => 'rand',
       				'title'		=> get_option( 'yith-wrvp-section-title' )
       			), $atts ) );
   
       			$similar = YITH_WRVP_Frontend()->get_similar_product();
   
       			if( empty( $similar ) ) {
       				return '';
       			}
   
       			$args = apply_filters( 'yith_wrvp_similar_products_template_args', array(
       				'post_type'            => 'product',
       				'ignore_sticky_posts'  => 1,
       				'no_found_rows'        => 1,
       				'posts_per_page'       => $posts_per_page,
       				'orderby'              => $orderby,
       				'post__in'             => $similar
       			) );
   
       			$products = new WP_Query( $args );
   
       			ob_start();
   
       			if ( $products->have_posts() ) : ?>
   
       				<div class="woocommerce yith-similar-products">
   
       					<h2><?php echo $title ?></h2>
   
       					<?php woocommerce_product_loop_start(); ?>
   
       					<?php while ( $products->have_posts() ) : $products->the_post(); ?>
   
       						<?php wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' ); ?>
   
       					<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
   
       					<?php woocommerce_product_loop_end(); ?>
   
       				</div>
   
       			<?php endif;
   
       			$content = ob_get_clean();
   
       			wp_reset_postdata();
   
       			return $content;
       }
   
       remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', array( YITH_WRVP_Frontend(), 'print_shortcode' ), 30 );
       add_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'print_custom_shortcode', 30 );
       function print_custom_shortcode(){
       	echo do_shortcode('[custom_yith_similar_products]');
       }
   
       }
       ```
   
 * So you need only to change title tag as you wish.
    Let me know. Greetings.

 * It`s working. Thank you for your support and quick answer.
 * Maybe it will be a nice update if you decide to add a drop-down with allowed 
   HTML tags so we can choose which tag wraps the title.
    Or maybe something like:
   <chosen_tag><span>Title</span></chosen_tag>. Front-end developers will love that
   🙂
 * Thank you again for your help!
