    Hello Justin, thanks for the awesome plugin.

    I’m interested in modifying the HTML markup of the output, like adding h3 to the gtc-link, changing gtc-content-thumb to a figure instead of a, and lots other.

    I’m not the savviest WordPress developer though, so I’m kinda lost what exactly I have to do. Tried Googling, says I have to use filter, but still not too sure what to do. Can you help me out here?

    Much appreciated!

    If you provide me a before/after comparison, i can try to tell you if/how it’s possible.

    Sure!

    Here is the default markup:

    <ol class="gtc-list">
    <li>
       <a class="gtc-content-thumb" href="/perspective/dampak-negatif-pariwisata/">
          <img width="100" height="70" src="https://localhost/youthpro/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-05-miskin-dan-kaya-pariwisata-tuca-vieira-100x70.jpg" class="attachment-kopa-image-size-3 wp-post-image alignleft wp-post-image" alt="Foto: Paraisopolis, oleh Tuca Vieira.">
       </a>
       <a class="gtc-link" href="/perspective/dampak-negatif-pariwisata/">Pariwisata, Tidak Seindah yang Kita dan Pemerintah Bayangkan </a>
    </li>
    <!-- etc -->
    </ol>

    I want to change it to:

    <ol class="gtc-list">
    <li>
       <figure class="gtc-content-thumb" href="/perspective/dampak-negatif-pariwisata/">
          <a href="/perspective/dampak-negatif-pariwisata/">
             <img width="600" height="200" src="https://localhost/youthpro/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-05-miskin-dan-kaya-pariwisata-tuca-vieira-600x200.jpg" class="attachment-kopa-image-size-3 wp-post-image wp-post-image" alt="Foto: Paraisopolis, oleh Tuca Vieira.">
          </a>
       </figure>
       <h3 class="gtc-link">
          <a href="/perspective/dampak-negatif-pariwisata/">Pariwisata, Tidak Seindah yang Kita dan Pemerintah Bayangkan </a>
       </h3>
    </li>
    <!-- etc -->
    </ol>

    So, as you can see, I addde figure to the thumbnail, added h3 to the post title, changed the image size to 600×200, and removed the alignleft class in the image. Your help is really appreciated!

    Image size is controlled by your shortcode attributes. Do you have a 600×200 image size defined with add_image_size()? If so, you would set the shortcode thumb_size attribute to the name of that image size.

    To update the thumbnail wrap, you’d do this:

    function modify_gtc_list_item_thumb( $html, $url, $thumb ) {
    	return '<figure class="gtc-content-thumb" href="'. $url .'"><a href="'. $url .'">' . $thumb . '</a></figure>';
    }
    add_filter( 'gtc_list_item_thumb', 'modify_gtc_list_item_thumb', 10, 3 );

    And to modify the title wrap:

    function modify_gtc_list_item_format( $format ) {
    	return '<li>%1$s<h3 class="gtc-link"><a href="%2$s">%3$s</a></h3></li>';
    }
    add_filter( 'gtc_list_item_format', 'modify_gtc_list_item_format' );

    Image alignment class is controlled by your shortcode attributes. You would set the shortcode?thumb_alignment attribute to a blank/empty string to remove.

    Thanks for the response!

    I tried the filter, but it doesn’t seem to work though. Nothing has changed in the front. Tried wrapping it with if ( function_exists( 'gtc_list_item_thumb' ) ), but also nothing…

    That’s because GTC results/output is cached for a period of time. Add ?delete-trans=1 to your URL as you are testing to bypass/flush the cache.

    Works like a charm. Much appreciated!

    One more thing, sorry. Is it possible to add the post category and the published date? So it would look something like,

    <ol class="gtc-list">
    <li>
       <figure class="gtc-content-thumb" href="/perspective/dampak-negatif-pariwisata/">
          <a href="/perspective/dampak-negatif-pariwisata/">
             <img width="600" height="200" src="https://localhost/youthpro/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-05-miskin-dan-kaya-pariwisata-tuca-vieira-600x200.jpg" class="attachment-kopa-image-size-3 wp-post-image wp-post-image" alt="Foto: Paraisopolis, oleh Tuca Vieira.">
          </a>
       </figure>
       <h3 class="gtc-link">
          <a href="/perspective/dampak-negatif-pariwisata/">Pariwisata, Tidak Seindah yang Kita dan Pemerintah Bayangkan </a>
       </h3>
       <span class="gtc-category"><a href="/perspective/">Category: Perspective</a></span>
       <time class="gtc-time updated" datetime="2016-05-25T12:43:06+00:00">May 25, 2016</time>
    </li>
    <!-- etc -->
    </ol>
    Plugin Author Justin Sternberg

    Something like this:

    function modify_gtc_list_item( $item_html, $page, $wppost ) {
    
    	if ( $wppost ) {
    		$date = get_the_time( 'M j, Y', $wppost );
    		$categories = get_the_category_list( 'Category: ', null, $wppost->ID );
    		$xtra_data = '<span class="gtc-category">'. $categories .'</span>';
    		$xtra_data .= '<time class="gtc-time updated" datetime="2016-05-25T12:43:06+00:00">'. $date .'</time>';
    
    		$item_html = str_replace( '</a></h3>', '</a></h3>' . $xtra_data, $item_html );
    	}
    
    	return $item_html;
    }
    add_filter( 'gtc_list_item', 'modify_gtc_list_item', 10, 3 );

    I’ll leave you to modify that as needed.
