WP Text Eraser is a lightweight WordPress plugin designed to dynamically hide specific words or phrases from your post content without modifying your database.

🛠️ Key Features

  • Non-Destructive Filtering: The plugin uses the the_content filter to remove text only during page rendering. Your original database content remains untouched.
  • Simple Configuration: A dedicated settings page allows you to list words or phrases to be erased—one per line.
  • Clean Output: Automatically handles line breaks and ignores duplicate entries in your list.
  • Literal Matching: Treats all input as literal text, ensuring that special characters (like *, ?, or []) are handled as plain text rather than regex patterns.
  • Admin Integration: Easy access via Settings → Text Eraser and a direct "Settings" link on the WordPress Plugins page.

📂 Project Structure

The plugin is built with a modular 5-file architecture for clarity and performance:

  • wp-text-eraser.php: Main bootstrap file, plugin headers, and initialization.
  • wp-text-eraser-options.php: Handles WordPress option registration and data sanitization.
  • wp-text-eraser-filter.php: Contains the logic for filtering content on the front-end.
  • wp-text-eraser-admin.php: Manages the admin menu, settings page, and UI.
  • wp-text-eraser-utils.php: Utility functions for string-to-array conversion and text escaping.

⚙️ Installation

  1. Upload the PluginWP_TextEraser folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings → Text Eraser.
  4. Enter the words or phrases you want to remove (one per line) and click Save Changes.
