Word Filter Plus allows you to replace one word or phrase on your blog, with another word or phrase. It can do this passively, by replacing content as it is displayed, leaving your database unchanged. It can do this actively, by updating the content as it is created or edited, leaving the display of your site efficient as ever. It can even update all of the posts or comments all at once, in a server friendly way.
If you need to run the plugin on multiple sites, there is an export and an import feature to save effort and eliminate mistakes.
This plugin will help you clean up your site’s content. In its simplest form, it finds one word you are using and puts in another word. You might want to replace can replace the word “firetruck” with “f**k” or make your “2112 Rates and Fees” become your “2113 Rates and Fees” everywhere that text exists.
The reasons that you might want to do this are many. Here are seven I thought about as I made this plugin:
- You’ve been told by advertisers they can’t advertise on your site because of the use of high risk words.
- Terms that were ok to use one year, are now considered highly offensive
- You’ve found you are blocked from schools and homes with content filters that are active.
- A lawsuit/DMCA issue has forced you to remove references to a certain topic or company
- Your phone number/company name/last name has changed and you want to update it on your site.
- You wish to add hyperlinks to every reference of a specific word.
- You’ve removed/replaced a plugin and you now have short codes that don’t work and you need to update them all
- You’ve reference a year or date in posts or titles and you want your content to appear current.
There are other plugins that do similar functions, including the Word Replacer Plugin, which formed the foundation of this plugin. However, the “Plus” in “Word Filter Plus” means that I’ve added a number of extra features. These Plus features include:
- Passive and Active modes to allow you to temporarily or permanently make the changes to your post content.
