Em Dash Remover for WordPress

Eliminate telltale AI punctuation on your WordPress site effortlessly. Automatically replaces AI-generated Em Dashes (—) and En Dashes (–) (including HTML entities like —, –, —, –) with clean standard hyphens (-) on runtime, without altering your database, posts, or theme files.

Why Em Dash Remover?

Modern AI writing models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot) frequently output excessive Em Dashes (—) and En Dashes (–). These are classic signals used by readers and AI detection systems to identify machine-generated text.

Em Dash Remover fixes this automatically:

⚡ Zero-touch: Runs purely in the public rendered HTML output buffer.
🛡️ Zero Risk to Database: Your original post content, Elementor layouts, Gutenberg blocks, and database remain 100% untouched.
🔒 Code & Layout Safe: Never breaks `
