A Plugin to Correctly Spell WordPress. Not WordPress. Not Word Press.

This plugin (which was more a joke than a plugin anyway) is now deprecated. As of version 3.0, WordPress fixes itself occurrences of its name improperly capitalized.

The registered trademark, because it is one, is WordPress. One word, capitalized W and P, no space. It should not be written WordPress, or Word Press, or Word-press, or whatever.

Correctly Spell WordPress is a simple plugin that takes care of your pages and posts by correcting all the carelessly miswritten occurences of "WordPress", in titles, posts, pages and comments.

Download it:

There is a few optional and self explanatory edition, at the beginning of the plugin. Read and edit accordingly, or just run as is with default values.

Note: this plugin is not active here on my own blog, don't bother pointing out occurrences of "WordPress" you will find here and there. I'm not that anal :P

Other note: this plugin was a quick hack after a discussion between friends. It's untested, it will probably break things such as path containing "wordpress". Download it only if you want to hack and improve it :)

WordPress er et varemerke/merke navn eller logo om du vil og man skal dermed skrive navnet pÃ¥ den mÃ¥te som opphavsmannen tenkte/ønsker/vil at det skal skrives pÃ¥. Det er mange som ikke klarer den biten, og det er mange som blir frustrert Noen har til og med sett seg sÃ¥ lei av denne (vanlige) feilen at de har laget et eget WordPress innstikk for Ã¥ løse dette.

    This plugin broke my [gallery]'s in 2.8.1 b2. Basically, instead of getting this URL on the page:
    http://ottodestruct.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/2775873304_28de83e999_o-150×150.jpg

    It somehow changed it to this:
    http://ottodestruct.com/blog/-content/uploads/2008/08/2775873304_28de83e999_o-150×150.jpg

    No idea why. I suspect the "WP" matching is a bit too severe, but why it didn't replace it with "WordPress", I have no idea.

  27. Ozh

    Otto: 3 mn coding for more a joke than a plugin, the regexp matching is totally poor

    "It should not be written WordPress" in your post is funnier now because of Capital_P_Dangit.
