I had a similar situation. Add the following code to your functions.php and see if it works for you. function my_widget_title($title, $instance, $id_base) { if ( ‘recent-posts’ == $id_base) { return __(‘New Title’); } else { return $title; } } add_filter ( ‘widget_title’ , ‘my_widget_title’, 10, 3); Note: this will change the title of all … Read more
