Text Orphans Remover (a.k.a. #NoMoreOrphans\u2122) improves the visual quality of long-form, responsive text by preventing \u201corphan\u201d words on the last line.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin adds a lightweight script on the front-end only<\/strong> (never in wp-admin). It measures each text block and, when appropriate, replaces the last breaking space with a non\u2011breaking space.<\/p>\n\n

Default processed elements:\n p, li, h1\u2013h6, blockquote, figcaption, dd, dt<\/p>\n\n

You can override the selector via JavaScript:\n window.TextOrphansRemoverSelector = 'p, li, .my-class';<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> (or upload the ZIP via Plugins \u2192 Add New).<\/li>\n
  2. Activate \u201cText Orphans Remover\u201d.<\/li>\n
  3. Done \u2014 it runs automatically on the front-end.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Does it work in wp-admin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. This plugin never loads in the admin area.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I target different elements?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. Set window.TextOrphansRemoverSelector<\/code> before the script runs (e.g. in your theme\u2019s footer or a small custom plugin).<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will it break inline HTML tags (links, strong, em)?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. The script updates text nodes<\/strong> only and does not rewrite your HTML markup.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
