Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Text Replace

No. The plugin filters post content on-the-fly as it is being output or displayed. The data saved to the database is as you typed it.

No. The plugin filters post content on-the-fly as it is being output or displayed. The actual data stored in the database, whether it be pre-existing or new, is never affected by this plugin.

Yes, if they include strings that you've now defined as shortcuts.

By default, the plugin filters the post content, post excerpt, widget text, and optionally comments and comment excerpts. You can use the "More filters" setting to specify additional filters to be processed for text replacement. You can also programmatically use the 'c2c_text_replace_filters' filter to modify the affected filters (see Developer Documentation section).

The easiest way would be to add "the_title" (or some other filter's name) as a line in the "More filters" setting. That setting allows any additional specified filters to be processed for text replacement. You can also programmatically add to the list of filters that get text replacements. See the Developer Documentation section for an example.

By default, yes. There is a setting you can change to make it case insensitive. Or you can use the 'c2c_text_replace_case_sensitive' filter (see Developer Documentation section).

Rest assured search engines will see those posts since they only ever see the posts after the shortcuts have been replaced. However, WordPress's search function searches the database directly, where only the shortcut exists, so WordPress doesn't know about the replacement text you've defined.

By default, yes. There is a setting you can change so that only the first occurrence of the term in the post gets replaced. Or if you are a coder, you can use the 'c2c_text_replace_once' filter (see Developer Documentation section).

Yes. While this plugin is compatible with many other plugins that modify post and widget text, this plugin has explicit built-in support for Advanced Custom Fields and Elementor, which provide additional content areas. See documentation on the hook 'c2c_text_replace_third_party_filters' for a complete list of default supported third-party filters and how to enable compatibility with other plugins and themes. If you know the name of the filter provided by a plugin, you can add it to the "More filters" setting to have its value processed for text replacement.

Yes.
