adding filter to rss widget?

  • Long story, but I would like to change the class on the anchors within the rss widget to another class called “special_name”. I thought this would work, but no luck – 

    function edit_anchor($anchor) {
return preg_replace('/<a class='rsswidget'/', '<a class='special_name'', $anchor, 1);
}
add_filter('wp_widget_rss','edit_anchor');

    Any suggestions?

    Hmm, I’ve tried other filtering like this with different functions (ex: wp_page_menu) and it worked fine. Any idea why wp_widget_rss would be any different?

    Did you figure this out? I am wondering the same thing. Thanks!
