Upload the plugin in _Plugins Add New Upload Plugin_, or copy the `negaresh` folder to `wp-content/plugins`. 2. Activate it. 3. Choose the rules and when to fix in _Settings Negaresh_. 4. To fix posts you already have, use _Tools Negaresh_ (or `wp negaresh fix --apply`). ## FAQ ### Does it change my posts? In “when a post is saved” mode (the default for new installs) the stored text is corrected when you save. In “when a post is displayed” mode (kept by sites upgrading from 4.x) nothing stored is ever changed. Posts you mark “Leave this post alone” are never changed. ### Can I undo a bulk fix? Yes. Before Negaresh changes an existing post it keeps the text as a revision, so each post can be restored from its revisions screen (when your site keeps revisions). ### Will it break my HTML, shortcodes or code samples? No. Only the text between tags is fixed; tags, attributes, shortcodes and the contents of `pre`, `code`, `script`, `style`, `textarea`, `svg` and `math` are left exactly as they are. ### How do I keep a quote or a paragraph as it is? In the block editor add `negaresh-skip` in _Advanced Additional CSS class(es)_, or add `data-negaresh="off"` to an element in HTML. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Negaresh” is open source software.
