About DMG Related Pages Widget
From the official readme · v1.1.1Description
A simple widget that displays a list of pages related to the current page.
You can choose to show either siblings pages (on the same level), child pages or both, and set how many levels of child pages to show.
You can also enter class(es) to be applied to the widget wrapper or the list (ul element).
If the widget is on a page that is not hierarchical, or if there are no related pages, nothing is displayed.
A hook is available to filter the title: dmg_related_pages_widget_title.
For example, to change the title on a single page or post, you could add this to your functions.php file:
function myTitleFilter( $title )
{
if( is_singular() )
{
return "<strong>$title</strong>";
}
else
{
return $title;
}
}
add_filter( 'dmg_related_pages_widget_title' , 'myTitleFilter');

Adding CSS Class(es)
Enter strings, either space or comma seperated, which will be applied as CSS classes to the widget wrapper and/or the list wrapper. These classes are sanitized using the sanitize_html_class() function built in to WordPress.
