Frequently asked questions.
Does it work in wp-admin?
No. This plugin never loads in the admin area.
Can I target different elements?
Yes. Set window.TextOrphansRemoverSelector before the script runs (e.g. in your theme’s footer or a small custom plugin).
Will it break inline HTML tags (links, strong, em)?
No. The script updates text nodes only and does not rewrite your HTML markup.
