Orphans

Description

To avoid line breaks in the incorrect position, the plugin fixes orphans’ positions and replaces space after orphan with a hard space.?

Orphan – a text composition error, which consists in leaving a lonely short word at the end or at the beginning of a verse, especially a single-character one. The word “lonely” here means separation from a closely related word by line breaks.

FAQ

When does this plugin replace spaces?

Plugin works when viewing the content and does not modify your content.

I have a problem with the plugin, or I want to suggest a feature. Where can I do this?

You can do it on Support Threads, but please add your ticket to Github Issues.

How to use this plugin on the custom field?

Use orphan_replace filter. Example code:

$value = apply_filters(
    'orphan_replace',
    get_post_meta($post_id, 'meta_key', true )
);

How to use this plugin on any string?

Use orphan_replace filter. Example code:

$value = apply_filters( 'orphan_replace', 'any string' );

How to change plugin capability?

By default to using this plugin you must have manage_options capability, which usually means site administrator. If you want to allow manage Orphans by “Editors” then you need to use other capabilities, e.g. unfiltered_html. You can use iworks_orphans_capability filter:

add_filter('iworks_orphans_capability', 'my_orphans_capability');
function my_orphans_capability($capability) {
    return 'unfiltered_html';
}

How to turn of replacement in my piece of code?

At the beginning of your block just add:

add_filter( 'orphan_skip_replacement', '__return_true' );

and at the end, to again turn on replacements:

remove_filter( 'orphan_skip_replacement', '__return_true' );

How can I change default orphans?

Please use iworks_orphan_terms filter. It is array of default orphans. You can remove, add or even replace whole array. For example, to remove words “oraz”, “na” and “”nie”, use code bellow:

add_filter( 'iworks_orphan_terms', 'remove_iworks_orphan_terms' );
function remove_iworks_orphan_terms( $terms ) {
    $default_orphans_to_remove = array( 'oraz', 'na', 'nie', );
    foreach( $default_orphans_to_remove as $value ) {
        if ( $key = array_search( $value, $terms ) ) {
            unset( $terms[ $key ] );
        }
    }
    return $terms;
}

How can I change the default orphan file?

The default file with definitions is located in the etc/ directory.

You can change it using the filter iworks_orphan_own_terms_file:

`
add_filter(
‘iworks_orphan_own_terms_file’,
function( $file ) {
return ‘<own path to file’;
}
);
‘

To podstawowa wtyczka jak? zawsze instaluj? na ka?dym WP. Nie wiem jak mo?na sobie bez tego pluginu poradzi? – pewnie fachowcy sobie radz?, ja nie.
