Description
The Content Cleaner plugin is an all-in-one tool for automatically removing non-printable characters from content and
title fields. After building WordPress sites for many years, one problem that consistently plagues my clients (especially
the less tech-savvy ones) is non-printable characters in their content or in their titles. This plugin works by running
a regular expression find and replace to clean up post content, post titles, and even Advanced Custom Fields. It’s
extremely lightweight and works without any setup required.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/content-cleanerdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‹Plugins› screen in WordPress
FAQ
- Will Content Cleaner delete things I don’t want it to delete?
-
For most people, Content Cleaner won’t appear to make any difference and won’t remove anything from your content.
- What is the regex you’re running on the content?
-
All content and titles are run through a preg_replace function using this regular expression: ‹/[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x1F\x7F]/u›
