If you need to have your widget titles a links but you have multi language website with WPML plugin you can use a plugin “Widget Title Links” by Ragulka and my small code snippet, please add this to your theme’s functions.php:
add_filter('widget_title_link', 'wpml_widget_title_link');
function wpml_widget_title_link($title_link)
{
// this removes http:// because it is added by esc_url in widget-title-link.php:L88
$title_link = preg_replace('/https?:\/\//', '', $title_link);
// this WPML helper generates link to translated post/page/category/etc WP object
$link = icl_link_to_element(
$title_link,
$element_type = 'post',
$link_text = '',
$optional_parameters = array(),
$anchor = '',
$echoit = false,
$return_original_if_missing = true
);
// this cuts URL from a generated link
if (preg_match('/href="([^"]+)"/', $link, $matches)) {
return $matches[1];
} else {
return false;
}
}
After that you can specify WP Object ID in the widget “Title link” field and WPML will find translated object and create URL for widget title:
