Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Orphans

Plugin works when viewing the content and does not modify your content.

You can do it on Support Threads, but please add your ticket to Github Issues.

Use orphan_replace filter. Example code: $value = apply_filters( 'orphan_replace', get_post_meta($post_id, 'meta_key', true ) );

Use orphan_replace filter. Example code: $value = apply_filters( 'orphan_replace', 'any string' );

By default to using this plugin you must have manage_options capability, which usually means site administrator. If you want to allow manage Orphans by "Editors" then you need to use other capabilities, e.g. unfiltered_html. You can use iworks_orphans_capability filter: add_filter('iworks_orphans_capability', 'my_orphans_capability'); function my_orphans_capability($capability) { return 'unfiltered_html'; }

At the beginning of your block just add: add_filter( 'orphan_skip_replacement', '__return_true' ); and at the end, to again turn on replacements: remove_filter( 'orphan_skip_replacement', '__return_true' );

Please use iworks_orphan_terms filter. It is array of default orphans. You can remove, add or even replace whole array. For example, to remove words "oraz", "na" and ""nie", use code bellow: add_filter( 'iworks_orphan_terms', 'remove_iworks_orphan_terms' ); function remove_iworks_orphan_terms( $terms ) { $default_orphans_to_remove = array( 'oraz', 'na', 'nie', ); foreach( $default_orphans_to_remove as $value ) { if ( $key = array_search( $value, $terms ) ) { unset( $terms[ $key ] ); } } return $terms; }

The default file with definitions is located in the etc/ directory. You can change it using the filter iworks_orphan_own_terms_file: ` add_filter( 'iworks_orphan_own_terms_file', function( $file ) { return '<own path to file'; } ); '
