Im making a custom WP theme, And im wondering if i can remove the formatting from these examples

<?php bp_message_thread_from() ?>
output = example

*just noticed this acts as a link on the forum so this is what its outputting just remove the **
< a ** href=”http://localhost/wordpress/members/example/” > example < ** / a >

Desired output = example

So im hoping to wrap my own formating around it
Like so

<span class=”text”><?php bp_message_thread_from() ?></span>
Desired output = <span class=”text”>example</span>

tldr
is there a way to remove the set formatting of these

<!– Example template tags you can use –>
<?php bp_message_thread_id() ?>
<?php bp_message_thread_has_unread() ?>
<?php bp_message_thread_unread_count() ?>
<?php bp_message_thread_avatar(); ?>
<?php bp_message_thread_from() ?>
<?php bp_message_thread_last_post_date() ?>
<?php bp_message_thread_view_link() ?>
<?php bp_message_thread_subject() ?>
<?php bp_message_thread_excerpt() ?>
<?php bp_message_thread_delete_link() ?>

Sorry for the incomplete example.
hoping someone can help me answer this.

Use the filter hooks to modify the output.
For example, see the filter hook for: bp_message_thread_from()

I provided a link to show you how to find the filter hooks for any of the functions that you listed. You use them like any other WP filter hook.
For example:
```
function mitchellbc_bp_get_message_thread_from( $from ) {

    // manipulate $from however you want
    $from = '<span class="text">' . $from .  '</span>'; 

    return $from; 
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_message_thread_from', 'mitchellbc_bp_get_message_thread_from', 1, 1 );
```
