Autocrattic plugin for WordPress

Autocrattic is a WordPress plugin that automatically replaces specific hosting provider names with "WordPress®" across various areas of your site, including post content, titles, and widgets. It offers a settings page where you can easily manage the list of hostnames to replace.

This plugin is in no way affiliated with Automattic, WordPress, the WordPress Fondation, Matt Mullenweg or WooCommerce, Inc.

Features

  • Replaces custom hosting provider names with "WordPress®" in:
    • Post content (the_content)
    • Post titles (the_title)
    • Widget text content (widget_text_content)
  • Comes with a settings page for easy configuration of hostnames to replace.
  • Preloaded with the top 50 hosting provider names for immediate use.
  • Secure, localized, and properly escaped for safety and flexibility.

Installation

  1. Download the plugin from GitHub.
  2. Unzip the plugin folder.
  3. Upload the unzipped folder to /wp-content/plugins/ using an FTP client.
  4. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.

Usage

  1. Go to Settings -> Autocrattic to customize the list of hosting providers you want to replace.
  2. By default, the plugin replaces popular hosting company names with "WordPress®" across post content, titles, and widget text.
  3. Modify the list of hostnames by adding or removing entries in the settings page (separate names by commas).

Example

If you add "GoDaddy, Bluehost" to the settings, the plugin will replace any occurrence of these names with "WordPress®" across your site's content.

Security

Autocrattic is built with security in mind:

  • Sanitization: All input is sanitized using sanitize_textarea_field before saving.
  • Escaping: Output is properly escaped using esc_html() and esc_textarea() to prevent XSS attacks.
  • Nonces: WordPress’s built-in nonces are used to secure form submissions.

Localization

Autocrattic is fully translation-ready and uses localization functions throughout. To contribute a translation, please follow the instructions in the Contributing section below.
