It doesn’t modify the page title output in the featured page widget, only the widget title which you can entry manually in the widget settings.
See the following screenshot :
To modify the entry title for pages displayed using the genesis featured page widget, use this code instead.
The code in this tutorial includes a conditional tag enabling you to modify the widget title on specific pages only.
In this case, only the widget title on the front page is modified and the default title is shown on all other pages.
See the following demo video for clarification :

Here’s the final solution you requested for the Genesis Featured Post widget https://wpsites.net/web-design/conditionally-wrap-genesis-featured-posts-widget-title-in-span-tags/
But what do you do with the code once you have it? How does it modify the actual html?
It only modifies the widget title. You can return any HTML in the modified title. I.E plain text, HTML tags etc.
If you don’t know how to modify the code to do this, let me know because PHP modification is included in membership.
I assume I put whatever new HTML I want to add here:
return __(‘Modified Genesis Featured Posts Widget Title’);
??
I need to wrap the text within the title with an html snip
Exactly, in between the single quotes ‘Modified Genesis Featured Posts Widget Title’
This is for the featured page widget title right? not the featured page entry title.
Right. But nothing is happening when I change it.
I want to add a THE TITLE HERE
