Email addresses, URLs, international telephone numbers, and passwords use left-to- right syntax even when the surrounding page is Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, or another RTL language. Some themes and form styles force every field into RTL, which can make symbols such as `@`, `.`, `/`, and `+` appear in confusing positions. The plugin applies a small static stylesheet only when WordPress detects an RTL locale. It targets semantic technical input types and leaves normal text fields and textareas unchanged. Main features: * Front-end, wp-admin, and login-screen controls. * Narrow selectors for email, URL, telephone, and password fields. * Optional username-field support, disabled by default for sites that accept Arabic usernames. * An opt-out CSS class for intentionally RTL technical fields. * No JavaScript, external services, analytics, or content changes. The opt-out class is `aetos-rtl-input-direction-ignore`. Developers can add `aetos- rtl-input-direction-ltr` to another input that should explicitly use the same LTR treatment. ### Privacy Aetos RTL Input Direction Fixer does not collect, store, or transmit personal data.

Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/aetos-rtl-input-direction-fixer/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen. 2.

The plugin intentionally loads no direction styles for LTR locales. ## FAQ ### Does this change stored field values or post content? No. The plugin changes visual direction and alignment with CSS only. It does not read, rewrite, or store form values. ### Does this force my whole website into RTL mode? No. It follows WordPress `is_rtl()` and loads only on an already-RTL locale. ### Which fields are affected? Email, URL, telephone, and password input types are targeted. Normal text inputs and textareas keep their existing direction. ### Can I exclude one field? Yes. Add the `aetos-rtl-input-direction-ignore` class or an explicit `dir="rtl"` attribute to that input. ### Why are username fields optional? Some sites accept Arabic usernames. The separate setting is disabled by default so those sites are not changed unexpectedly. ### Does this include form-builder-specific presets? No. Version 1.0.0 targets standard semantic HTML input types, so it can work across themes and form plugins without depending on a specific builder. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Aetos RTL Input Direction Fixer” is open source software.
