You can overwrite the plugin settings in the shortcode using the following attributes:
code
(default: ”)title
(default: ‘Sign up for our Newsletter’)email_default_value
(default: ‘Enter your email address’)div_class
(default: ‘widget_vr’)form_class
(default: ‘vr_form’)form_id

(default: ‘</h4>’)
- How do I use the new `add_filters()` functionality? (Added 1.1)
-
If you want to change some code in the widget, you can use the WordPress
add_filter()
function to achieve this.You can add code to your theme’s
functions.php
file that will modify the widget or shortcode output. Here’s an example:function my_example_function($widget) { // The $widget variable is the output of the widget // This will replace 'this word' with 'that word' in the widget output. $widget = str_replace('this word', 'that word', $widget); // Make sure to return the $widget variable, or it won't work! return $widget; } add_filter('vr_widget_form', 'my_example_function');
