AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Text Spinner is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 7 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Hassan Akhtar — established developer track record
Cons
- −Average rating below 4.0 (3.9★) — read recent low-star reviews before committing

How Text Spinner works
Show full descriptionShow less
This tiny plugin allows you to use spintax like {phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3} in your posts, pages and theme files. Just enclose the content that you want to be processed in the shortcode [wpts_spin][/wpts_spin] and a unique copy will be generated on each page load. Alternatively, you can pass the spintax string to the function wpts_spin() and echo the returned value.
The plugin can help you avoid duplicate content penalties. For instance if you have a sizable block of text that needs to appear throughout the website then you can write spintax for it and use the above-mentioned shortcode or template tag to generate unique copies.
Nested spintax like {phrase 1|phrase 2|{sub-phrase 1|sub-phrase 2|sub-phrase 3}} is also supported by the plugin.
Example 1:
Shortcode:
[wpts_spin]{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}[/wpts_spin]
Function:
<?php wpts_spin('{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}'); ?>
Sample Output:
phrase 1
phrase 2
phrase 3
Example 2 (Nested Spintax):
Shortcode:
[wpts_spin]{phrase 1|phrase 2|{sub-phrase 1|sub-phrase 2|sub-phrase 3}}[/wpts_spin]
Function:
<?php wpts_spin( '{phrase 1|phrase 2|{sub-phrase 1|sub-phrase 2|sub-phrase 3}}' ); ?>
Sample Output:
phrase 1
sub-phrase 2
Example 3 (Caching):
Shortcode:
[wpts_spin cache="604800"]{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}[/wpts_spin]
Function:
<?php wpts_spin( '{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}', array( 'cache' => '604800' ) ); ?>
Sample Output:
Same as Example 1 but the output will be cached for a week (604800 seconds).
