FAQ

FAQs are maintained on the wp-Typography website.

Three questions come up so frequently, we will republish their answers here:

Will this plu­gin slow my page load­ing times?

Maybe. For best performance, use a persistent object cache plugin like WP Redis.

This plugin breaks post title links. What gives?

More likely than not, your WordPress theme is using an improper function to set the title attribute of your heading’s link. It is probably using the the_title() function, which delivers the post title after filtering. It should be using the_title_attribute() which delivers the post title before filtering. Change out this function throughout your theme when it is used inside of an HTML tag, and the problem should go away.

If you are uncomfortable editing your theme’s code, you may alternatively go to the wp-Typography settings page in your admin panel and add h1 and h2 to the “Do not process the content of these HTML elements:” field. This will disable typographic processing within improperly designed page title links and page titles.

What are the privacy implications of using the plugin?

wp-Typography does not store, transmit or otherwise process personal data as such. It does cache the content of the site’s posts. If necessary, you can clear this cache from the plugin’s settings page.

Remember, many more FAQs are are addressed the wp-Typography website.

Not much to say, it does everything I need and a lot more that I don't need. Amazing work!

Excellente extension. Indispensable !

Cette extension est tout bonnement indispensable sur un blog en français. Facile à prendre en main, elle améliore grandement la typographie sur les sites non anglophones. Merci beaucoup !

  • Bugfix: link_name and term_name will not have HTML injected anymore.

5.7.1 – June 24, 2020

  • Bugfix: Filters can be removed again with remove_filter().
  • Bugfix: The block editor does not crash anymore when trying to edit a custom post type that does not support custom-fields.

5.7.0 – May 22, 2020

  • Feature: Disable wp-Typography for specific posts/pages (via a sidebar toggle in the block editor or the filter hook typo_disable_processing_for_post).
  • Feature: New block wp-typography/typography added to apply typography fixes on nested blocks (e.g. in widgets).
  • Change: Significantly updated hyphenation patterns for:
    • Amharic,
    • Chinese pinyin (Latin),

    • German (Traditional),
    • German (Swiss Traditional),
    • Latin (Classical),

5.6.1 – December 24, 2019

  • Bugfix: Some error messages were not getting translated because of a WP.org infrastructure change.

5.6.0 – July 21, 2019

  • Feature: Smart area and volume units (5m2 is transformed into 5 m²).
  • Feature: The use of narrow no-break spaces and the true Unicode hyphen can now be enabled via the GUI. Consequently, the filter hook typo_narrow_no_break_space has been deprecated.

  • Change: CSS class injection for ampersands, acronyms, and intial quotes is now disabled by default.
  • Change: The smart quotes preview in the settings page should now be easier to read.
  • Change: All external PHP dependencies have been moved to the namespace WP_Typography\Vendor to reduce the chance of conflicts with other plugins.
  • Bugfix: The regular expression for cleaning user-supplied CSS no longer uses invalid syntax. This should fix any errors in PHP 7.3.
