fantastic plugin
by FabriSS·8 years ago

nice and very useful
by datlicht·10 years ago

I’m using Word Replacer to insert HTML/JS code snippets into my site without WP screwing up the code with unwanted tags.

Works great so far.

Works, but not fully on comments
by ckhNL·12 years ago

Great plugin! I love the concept….

… but unfortunately comments with ‘forbidden’ words can stil be placed when people use those names in their own name or emailaddress.

If that would be fixed this would be a 6-star plugin 😉

great
