Title: Remove WordPress to WordPress filter Author: Tom Lany Published: May 30, 2010 Last modified: April 9, 2021 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/remove-wordpress-to-wordpress-filter. svg) # Remove WordPress to WordPress filter By [Tom Lany](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tomthewebmaster/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/remove-wordpress-to-wordpress-filter.zip) * [Details](https://kal.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-wordpress-to-wordpress-filter/#description) * [Reviews](https://kal.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-wordpress-to-wordpress-filter/#reviews) * [Development](https://kal.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-wordpress-to-wordpress-filter/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/remove-wordpress-to-wordpress-filter/) ## Description In WordPress 3.0 and later, [a default filter](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/14996) changes all instances of “WordPress” (note the small “p”) in posts, titles, and comments to “WordPress”. [For various reasons](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13583), such as preserving spelling in existing posts and comments, a blog owner may want to turn this filter off. That is what this plugin does. Simply upload the plugin files to your WordPress plugins folder, activate it on your blog’s Plugin administration page, and you are set! ### Technical Details This plugin seeks to disable the capital_P_dangit function, which is the WordPress function that disallows “WordPress” to be used on blogs. The filter is defined in [wp-includes/default-filters.php](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/default-filters.php) and is applied in [wp-includes/formatting.php](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/formatting.php) of the core WordPress code. The remove_filter function is used in this plugin to undo the add_filter function applied in wp-includes/formatting.php. In versions 1.0 and 1.1 of this plugin, the function was removed for certain priority levels. As of version 1.2, this plugin removes the filter for all possible priority levels. Thanks to [Matt Robinson](http://subscribe2.wordpress.com/) for suggesting this method and providing code that is used in the plugin.
