Word Guard is a lightweight editorial styleguide and content consistency plugin for WordPress<\/strong>. It helps editors, publishers, and content teams enforce approved terminology and writing standards across posts and pages.<\/p>\n\n

Administrators can define a custom editorial styleguide<\/strong> by specifying keywords or phrases to flag, along with one or more preferred alternatives. Editors can then scan content directly from the WordPress editor<\/strong> to identify non-compliant language, highlight flagged terms, and replace them with approved alternatives in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n

Unlike automated rewriting tools, Word Guard keeps editors in full control. Scans are manual, changes are intentional, and no content is modified without user approval.<\/p>\n\n

Word Guard works seamlessly with both Gutenberg<\/strong> and the Classic Editor<\/strong>, making it ideal for modern WordPress sites as well as legacy setups.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin is especially useful for:\n- Editorial teams\n- Publishers and news sites\n- Agencies managing multiple writers\n- Organizations enforcing brand or legal language standards<\/p>\n\n

      Troubleshooting<\/h3>\n\n
        \n
      1. Ensure the Word Guard plugin is activated and your WordPress version is at least 5.2.<\/li>\n
      2. Deactivate other plugins to check for conflicts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Download the plugin .zip<\/code> file.<\/li>\n
        2. Upload to your WordPress site:\n\n
            \n
          • Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin<\/strong> and choose the .zip<\/code> file.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n
          • Activate the plugin from the Plugins<\/strong> menu.<\/li>\n
          • Go to Word Guard<\/strong> to configure your styleguide.<\/li>\n
          • Edit or create a post and run a manual scan from the editor interface.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n

            Does Word Guard automatically change my content?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No. Scans are manual, and replacements are only applied when the editor chooses to do so.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Is my content stored or sent externally?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No. All scans are performed locally within your WordPress installation.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Does Word Guard affect site performance?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Word Guard is optimized for performance and scans typically complete in under 2 seconds for average-length posts.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
