Allerdings besteht eine weitere Möglichkeit das Rendering anzupassen: Reguläre Ausdrücke. Der folgende Code-Schnipsel zeigt die Veränderung der Überschrift, indem einfach das HTML-Markup darum ausgetauscht wird.

$related = wp_get_related_posts();

$find = '/<h3>(.*)<\/h3>(.*)/i';
$replace = '<h4 class="highlighted">$1</h4>$2';
echo preg_replace($find, $replace, $related);
