Change H3 in footer to regular text

There are many places where the heading tag is predefined as h3 in the source code of enfold.
Editing all those entries and have a child-theme file is too complex.
The filter : avia_custom_widget_args will not work on those headings you like to influence.

– you can try this here from Yigit : https://kriesi.at/support/topic/change-h3-tags-in-footer-widget-child-theme-of-enfold/#post-728320
and pay attention of his comment:

You would need to update your widget areas.

In Shortform this will be ( and comes to child-theme functions.php ) :

function ava_re_register_footer_widgets(){
	$footer_columns = avia_get_option( 'footer_columns', '5' );
	for( $i = 1; $i <= $footer_columns; $i++ ){	
		unregister_sidebar('av_footer_' . $i );
		register_sidebar( array(
			'name'		=> 'Footer - Column ' . $i,
			'before_widget'	=> '<section id="%1$s" class="widget clearfix %2$s">',
			'after_widget'	=> '<span class="seperator extralight-border"></span></section>',
			'before_title'	=> '<p class="widgettitle">',
			'after_title'	=> '</p>',
			'id'		=> 'av_footer_' . $i
		) );
	}
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'ava_re_register_footer_widgets', 11 );

the settings you mentioned had to be set via quick css

#footer p.widgettitle {
	font-size: 30px; 
	font-weight: 500; 
	line-height: 33px;
}

(For SEO reasons, this will probably be the better method. )

Yes – the rule that manages the font size is set to !important – so the rule can’t override that unless you do the same – then the higher specificity decides:

#footer .widget p.widgettitle {
  font-size: 30px !important;
  font-weight: 500;
  line-height: 33px;
}

but on your page – i do not see the new css code ?
