Change the output of something using Add_filter in WordPress

I am using Tim Whitlock’s Latest Tweets plugin to display tweets.

I would like to modify the plugin’s default output. I have found the below in line 137 of the plugin file:

$final = apply_filters('latest_tweets_render_tweet', $html, $date, $link, $tweet );
            if( $final === $html ){
                $final = '<p class="tweet-text">'.$html.'</p>'.
                         '<p class="tweet-details"><a href="'.$link.'" target="_blank">'.$date.'</a></p>';
            }
            $rendered[] = $final;

And have come up with this filter to attempt to change the output: 

add_filter('latest_tweets_render_tweet', 'modified_tweets', 10);

function modified_tweets( $html, $date, $link, $tweet ) {

$final = '<div class="col-sm-4">'.
         '<p class="tweet-text2">'.$html.'</p>'.
         '<p class="tweet-details"><a href="'.$link.'" target="_blank">'.$date.'</a></p>'.
         '</div>';

         $rendered[] = $final;

};

However, the output remains the same. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

  2. As DWX mentioned, you’re missing the return. But you don’t need to return an array, the original code is expecting a string:

    $my_final = '<div class="col-sm-4">'. $etcetera;
return $my_final;

    And also add the number of arguments after the priority when adding the filter:

    add_filter('latest_tweets_render_tweet', 'modified_tweets', 10, 4);
