Orphans vs Spellmatic

The Orphans plugin automatically improves the typography of your WordPress site by preventing single-letter or very short words—known as orphans—from appearing alone at the beginning of a line. By replacing the space after these words with a non-breaking space, the plugin ensures cleaner, more professional-looking text layouts, especially for languages like Polish where such typographic rules are important. What are Orphans? An orphan in typography is a short word (often a single character) left isolated at the beginning of a line, separated from the rest of the sentence. This is considered a composition error and can negatively affect readability and the visual appeal of your content. Key Features Automatic Orphan Fixing: Scans your content and replaces spaces after short words (orphans) with non-breaking spaces, preventing them from being separated by line breaks. Customizable: Easily modify which words are treated as orphans using filters, or provide your own list of orphan terms. Non-Destructive: The plugin does not alter your original content in the database; changes are applied only when content is displayed. Builder and Plugin Integration: Seamless compatibility with popular page builders like Bricks, Divi, Muffin (beTheme), WPBakery, and Advanced Custom Fields. Flexible Usage: Apply orphan fixes to custom fields or any string using provided filters. How It Works Once activated, Orphans automatically processes your posts, pages, and other content post types, fixing orphaned words on the fly. You can customize its behavior through the settings panel found under Appearance > Orphans, or extend functionality with WordPress filters for advanced use cases. Ideal For Bloggers, publishers, and editors seeking to maintain high typographic standards. Sites in languages (like Polish or Czech) where orphan control is a common publishing requirement. Anyone wanting to enhance the professional appearance and readability of their WordPress content. Open Source & Developer Friendly Orphans is open source, actively maintained, and available on GitHub for those interested in contributing or extending its features.

Your key is stored encrypted on your server and all API calls go directly from your server to your chosen AI provider — Spellmatic never sees your content or your key. External Services This plugin connects to the following third-party services. Full details are also available on the Open Source & Services page inside the plugin (Spellmatic → Open Source). Grammar Engine — Harper (Bundled) The Harper grammar engine (Apache 2.0 licensed) is bundled with the plugin and runs entirely in your browser. No external connections are made during scanning. You may optionally update the grammar engine to get improved dictionaries and grammar rules. No external connections are made by the plugin for grammar engine updates — all updates are performed manually by the site administrator: Download the latest harper.js from the Harper npm package at https://www.npmjs.com/package/harper.js — the file is located in the dist/ folder of the package. Upload the file to wp-content/uploads/spellmatic/harper.js on your server (create the spellmatic folder if it does not exist). The plugin will automatically detect and use the uploaded file on the next page load. To revert, simply delete the file from wp-content/uploads/spellmatic/ — the plugin will fall back to the bundled version. Harper project: https://github.com/Automattic/harper Harper license: Apache License 2.0 Harper website: https://writewithharper.com AI-Powered Grammar Analysis (Optional, BYOK) When you enable the BYOK AI feature and initiate an AI scan, post and page text is sent to your chosen AI provider for contextual grammar analysis. This only occurs when you explicitly click “Scan” with AI enabled. API keys are encrypted with AES-256-CBC and stored on your server.
