How do I use the new `apply_filters()` functionality? (Added 1.7)

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('cc_signup_form_widget', 'my_example_function');

How do use this as a PHP function and not have it in the sidebar?

In the Widget options, fill out the Widget settings as you would normally. Set 'Show the Widget' to 'No, Hide Widget', which will save the widget settings, but will not display it. Then you can use the following PHP to show the widget: do_shortcode('[constantcontact id="#"]');.

Can I call Constant Contact if this form does not work?

No, this form is not created by Constant Contact, so please do not call them with questions. Instead, "leave a message on the widget blog page".
