[wp-testers] apply_filters()

[Jennifer Hodgdon]

Maybe if you posted some of your code, we could see what is going 
wrong? You can definitely apply filters without echoing the result, to 
make something "filterable" in your theme... Example:

a) In your parent theme, do something like this:

$myvariable = apply_filters( 'my_filter_name', $myvariable );

b) In a plugin or subtheme's functions.php, do something like this:

add_filter( 'my_filter_name', 'my_filter_func' );

function my_filter_func( $input ) {
    $input .= ' additional text added to end'; // or other filtering
    return $input;
}

Hope this helps,
    Jennifer
