How do I use the `apply_filters()` functionality?

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 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('lottery_widget', 'my_example_function');

How do I remove the titles of the games (the captions)?

If you want to remove game captions from the widget, add the following to your active theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter('lottery_game_caption', 'lottery_return_no_caption');
function lottery_return_no_caption($caption = null) {
    return '';
}
