Text Spinner
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: 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: Sample Output: phrase 1 sub-phrase 2 Example 3 (Caching): Shortcode: [wpts_spin cache="604800"]{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}[/wpts_spin] Function: '604800' ) ); ?> Sample Output: Same as Example 1 but the output will be cached for a week (604800 seconds).
