Hidden Widget Titles

Simple WordPress plugin for hiding select widget titles from displaying on the website. This plugin was spawned from my daily work to help organize a sea of indistinguishable widget in the admin panel.

Plugin is fully functional currently and will be submitted to the WordPress directory in the near future.

Examples:

On your widget title, add ! as the first character to hide the entire title from the front end.

! My Hidden Title

Alternatively, you may hide any number of sections of a title using square brackets.

This is Visible and [This is Hidden]

In addition, these symbols may be modified using their respective filters.

Hide Entire Title Character:

add_filter('hwt_single_start_character', function() {
	// Simply return the new character here.
	return '!';
});

Hide Section Starting Character:

add_filter('hwt_section_start_character', function() {
	// Simply return the new character here.
	return '[';
});

Hide Section Ending Character:

add_filter('hwt_section_end_character', function() {
	// Simply return the new character here.
	return ']';
});

Notes:

• The "hiding" of the widget titles actually removes the hidden text server side. The text is therefore not visible in the page source.
• Requires PHP 5.3 or greater.
• Credit to the author(s) of Remove Widget Titles for the idea of adding use of the exclamation to hide the entire title.
