Title: Double-space in articles Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Double-space in articles * [hpguru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hpguru/) * (@hpguru) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-space-in-articles/) * Would it be possible to get the articles to do the same as in the comments, ie, double-space automatically be replaced by a single space? Thank you.

But in comments WordPress replace double-space with space. But not in article, when i published them… * [jasdonle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasdonle/) * (@jasdonle) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-space-in-articles/#post-1164121) * I’d like to second this. I’ve got a contributor who always puts double spaces in between sentences. I’d like WP to remove them when the article is published and only have one space. I was hoping there’d be a plugin that did this, but I can’t find anything. * Any ideas? * Thread Starter [hpguru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hpguru/) * (@hpguru) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-space-in-articles/#post-1164122) * WordPress coder: please help or fix to WP 2.8.4? * [Josh Eaton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jjeaton/) * (@jjeaton) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-space-in-articles/#post-1164209) * Don’t know if any of you are still having this issue or now, but I created a plugin that handles this: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/remove-double-space/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/remove-double-space/) * I have the same situation where multiple contributors will use differing amounts of whitespace between sentences. This simple plugin will replace any duplicate whitespace with a single space. * Let me know if this works for you, and if you run across any issues or new features you would like to see. * Thread Starter [hpguru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hpguru/) * (@hpguru) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-space-in-articles/#post-1164210) * One question… is this delete duplicate space from old posts too?
