How It Works

Easy Text Replace hooks into WordPress’s translation system (gettext) to intercept and replace text strings before they’re displayed. This means:

1. No file modifications – Your theme and plugin files remain untouched
2. Update-safe – Replacements persist through updates
3. Reversible – Simply disable or delete replacements to restore original text
4. Efficient – Replacements are cached for optimal performance

Developer Friendly

Includes hooks and filters for developers:

• etrp_replacement_text – Filter text before replacement
• etrp_replacement_result – Filter text after replacement
• etrp_active_replacements – Modify active replacements array
• etrp_max_replacements – Adjust maximum replacement limit
• etrp_before_replacement_apply – Action before replacement
• etrp_after_replacement_apply – Action after replacement
