We also have support forums open for our free plugins. There is a small monthly subscription which gives you access to the support forums, and is basically in place to make sure that this plugin is kept up-to-date and give users peace of mind it will always be compatible with the latest version of WordPress, and that any bugs will be corrected as soon as possible.

You can find the forums here (just click the ‘Register’ button if you wish to sign up): http://www.presscoders.com/forums/

it’s a fun trick to replace say, ‘moron’ with ‘mellon’

function str_replace_word($needle,$replacement,$haystack,$isInsen){
if($isInsen == “insen”){
$pattern = “/\b$needle\b/i”;
} else {
$pattern = “/\b$needle\b/”;
}
$haystack = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $haystack);
return $haystack;
}

AND THEN modifying the string replace towards the bottom of that page like this

if (true){ // IT IS A WHOLE WORD REPLACE – FROM CONFIG

if($filter_type == “insen”){
$text = str_replace_word($sub_search, $tmp_search, $text, “insen”);
}else{
$text = str_replace_word($sub_search, $tmp_search, $text, “”);
}

} else { // EXISTING IPLEMENTATION
if($filter_type == “insen”){
$text = str_ireplace($sub_search, $tmp_search, $text);
}else{
$text = str_replace_word($sub_search, $tmp_search, $text, “”);
}
}

Gives us a WHOLE WORD ONLY replacement – what I would think is more useful. It uses a regular expression to find the whole words only.
The “if (TRUE)” code is the “replace wholewords only” checkbox that would be in the WP configuration options (if I knew how to do it )

Hope that helps

I have blacklisted the various offensive words using the filter textbox . one of the word is “ass” .I have included the conclusion that ,the plugin may find and replace the ” Three letter world” combination of “a”,”S”,”S” that forms the word “ass”.

But what it happened is
It blocked the words that start with particular three letter word .For example it blocked and replaced theword

“Assets” with ” ***ets ” which one i didn’t expected

For example the line is become

To protect the digital ***ets( which one is gone meaningless )

Is that any solution for that ?

I’m afraid the limitation of the plug-in as it stands is that the list of keywords to filter does not distinguish between whole words or sub words. Therefore, the letters being filtered in the ‘passenger’ word as it appears on your blog match one of your keywords in the plug-in list.

This is not necessarily a shortcoming of the plug-in as people may try to hide profanities inside of other words in an attempt to keep them visible. In your case Liz this is an unwanted action as ‘passenger’ is obviously a word that shouldn’t be filtered even though it contains a match for one of your keywords to filter.

At the moment, the plug-in removes anything, wherever it encounters it, if it matches one of your chosen keywords. I am not too sure how useful it would be to include an option to simply ignore a keyword match for a case similar to yours, if it is found inside another word, for the reason mentioned earlier; as this would make it VERY easy for anyone to use profanities all over the place simply by enclosing them with other letters.

Perhaps a more elegant solution would be to have a second list of keywords that, if encountered, would be ignored by the content filter. So for example in your case Liz, the word ‘passenger’ could be entered into this second keyword list. Then, when it is encountered it is ignored (even though it contains a keyword that the current plug-in version would normally filter).

This way, you could override certain words that should NOT be filtered even though they may contain a sub word that flags a match in your profanity keywords. Plus, if another word had this profanity keyword embedded then it would still get filtered as normal!

I will be doing an update for this plug-in at some point which will include this update, but I cannot promise when this will be at the moment due to other project commitments.
