Hello,

How to add a function to accept the HTML code in Ocean extra’s widget title?
I want to assign a Link to widget titles.

Now by the below code, this option is added to WordPress widgets.
```
add_filter( 'widget_title', 'accept_html_widget_title' );

function accept_html_widget_title( $mytitle ) { 
  $mytitle = str_replace( '[link', '<a', $mytitle );
$mytitle = str_replace( '[/link]', '</a>', $mytitle );
   $mytitle = str_replace( ']', '>', $mytitle );
	return $mytitle;
}
```
Thank you very much

Hi @apprimit

Thanks for the reply.
But I can’t find a way to change it.
Any help can be useful in this regard.

Here we have Ocean extra code:
```
// Apply filters to the title
$title = isset( $instance['title'] ) ? apply_filters( 'widget_title', $instance['title'] ) : '';

// Before widget WP hook
echo $args['before_widget'];

// Show widget title
if ( $title ) {
echo $args['before_title'] . esc_html( $title ) . $args['after_title'];
}
```
and this is default WordPress code:
```
$title = ( ! empty( $instance['title'] ) ) ? $instance['title'] : __( 'Recent Posts' );

/** This filter is documented in wp-includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-pages.php */
$title = apply_filters( 'widget_title', $title, $instance, $this->id_base );
```
It seems both are using a method but I’m sure there is a small point for it.

Thanks

Can you please try to remove the esc_html from the code and see if it works or not?

Thank you for your help, dear Amit. I greatly appreciate it.
I was waiting and now It’s working very well.
Can I run it from functions.php?

No, you have to modify the plugin file which is not a good solution.
