Description:

Extended Description

By default, WordPress converts single and double quotation marks into their curly alternatives. This plugin prevents that from happening, so you can enjoy your quotation marks in their non-curly glory.

Note: Despite the unfortunately misleading name, this plugin is NOT the antithesis of WordPress’s wptexturize() function. This ONLY prevents WordPress from making HTML entity code substitutions of single and double quotation marks with their curly alternatives and does NOT prevent wptexturize() from making any other character and string substitutions. See the FAQ for details on the filters processed by the plugin.

Installation

  1. Unzip wpuntexturize.zip inside the /wp-content/plugins/ directory (or install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer)
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress

Filters

The plugin is further customizable via two filters. Typically, these customizations would be put into your active theme’s functions.php file, or used by another plugin.

c2c_wpuntexturize (filter)

The ‘c2c_wpuntexturize’ filter allows you to use an alternative approach to safely invoke c2c_wpuntexturize() in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site. This only applies if you use the function directly, which is not typical usage for most users.

Arguments:

  • none

Example:

Instead of:

<?php echo c2c_wpuntexturize( $mytext ); ?>

Do:

<?php echo do_action( 'c2c_wpuntexturize', $mytext ); ?>

wpuntexturize_filters (filter)

The ‘wpuntexturize_filters’ filter allows you to customize what filters to hook to be filtered with wpuntexturize. See the Description section for a complete list of all filters that are filtered by default.

Arguments:

  • array $filters : the default array of filters

Example:

add_filter( 'wpuntexturize_filters', 'more_wpuntexturize_filters' );
function more_wpuntexturize_filters( $filters ) {
    $filters[] = 'event_description';
    return $filters;
}

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why are certain characters in my posts still being replaced by their HTML entity encoded version?
A. This ONLY prevents WordPress from making HTML entity code substitutions of single and double quotation marks with their curly alternatives and does NOT prevent WordPress from making any other character and string substitutions.

Q. What text does this plugin modify/filter?
A. This plugin potentially modifies the post content, excerpt, title, comment text, widget text, and more.

More specifically, it performs a wpuntexturize on every filter that WordPress applies the wptexturize to by default. This list comprises:

comment_author, term_name, link_name, link_description, link_notes, bloginfo, wp_title, widget_title, single_post_title, single_cat_title, single_tag_title, single_month_title, nav_menu_attr_title, nav_menu_description, term_description, the_title, the_content, the_excerpt, comment_text, list_cats, widget_text

This complete list can be filtered via wpuntexturize’s own filter, wpuntexturize_filters.
