This plugin allows you to dynamically (i.e. at the time when a page is generated) replace code and text from themes and other plugins with code and text of your choosing before a page is delivered to a user's browser.

Because the find and replace happens in real-time no changes are needed to plugins or themes which means upgrades remain easy!

Here are some real-world examples:

1. Don't like the "Category:" text that the Dagon Design Sitemap plugin puts in front of every category? Remove it!
2. Annoyed by the link that Global Translator adds to every page? Remove it!
3. Have you noticed that the Sociable plugin doesn't correctly display the Twitter image? No problem, insert it!

And remember, all of the above can be done WITHOUT modifying themes or plugin files so you'll always be able to upgrade them without having to worry about losing custom edits.

Download the plugin here.

Special thanks to Aaron Waggener for providing the technical brains behind this plugin!

    Hi. I've noticed that the plugin filters my feed, too.
    Is there any easy way to exclude the feed from being filtered?

    Thanks a lot!

      Sorry, there is no easy way i.e. no options you can set.

        Ok, I didn't mean THIS easy ;)
        An "IF is_feed" well placed should do the trick, maybe?
        I am starting to study wordpress, if you could point me to the right direction, maybe I could figure it out.

        Thanks a lot!

    I would like to make a donation. Can you modify the plugin not to rewrite the KEYWORDS meta?

    • Comment by Marios Alexandrou:

      Do you mean that if there's a match, but it's in the meta keywords, the replacement shouldn't happen? You can achieve this by using regular expressions although such regular expressions could get rather complicated.
