## Description
Urdu Text Fixer makes writing Urdu, Persian, and Arabic content in WordPress effortless.
It automatically detects Arabic‑script text (Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Pashto, and
others) in both the Block Editor (Gutenberg) and the Classic Editor (TinyMCE) and
switches the editing area to right‑to‑left (RTL) mode.
**Mixed bidirectional content**:
English words, Western‑Arabic digits, and punctuation
like `! , "" () -` embedded in Arabic‑script text are automatically wrapped with
Unicode bidirectional isolation markers so they render left‑to‑right inside the
surrounding RTL context. **No configuration needed**: The plugin works out of the
box. A toggle in the Document Settings panel (Block Editor) or a toolbar button (
Classic Editor) lets you disable auto‑detection if needed.
### Features
* **Auto‑detection**
Recognises Arabic‑script characters as you type or paste
* **Classic Editor support**
A TinyMCE plugin with a toolbar button and live RTL
switching
* **Bidirectional text fixing**
English words, numbers, and special characters
are wrapped in Unicode LRI/PDI isolation markers during save and display
* **Front‑end rendering**
Arabic‑script posts are wrapped in ``
so they display correctly on the public site
* **Comments support**
Arabic‑script comments also receive RTL treatment
* **HTML‑safe**
Processes only text nodes, leaving HTML tags intact
* **Idempotent**
Running the fix twice produces the same result; no duplicate
markers accumulate
## Screenshots
* [[
* Without the plugin: Urdu text in the Block Editor with broken alignment.
* [[
* With the plugin: same content properly flowing RTL with character rendering correctly
inside the Urdu context.
## Installation
1. Upload the `urdu-text-fixer` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
3. Open any post editor and start typing in Urdu, Persian, or Arabic. Auto‑detection
is enabled by default.
#### Manual Toggle
* **Classic Editor:** An **RTL** button appears on the editor toolbar.
## FAQ
### Does the plugin modify my saved post content?
Yes. When a post contains Arabic‑script text, Unicode bidirectional isolation markers(
invisible characters) are added to English words and numbers so they render correctly
inside the RTL context. These markers are invisible and do not affect the visual
appearance of your text.
### Will it affect my existing posts?
Only if you edit and re‑save them. Previously published posts are not altered until
you update them in the editor.
### Does it work with the Classic Editor plugin?
Yes, the Classic Editor (TinyMCE) is fully supported.
### What languages are supported?
The plugin detects the entire Arabic script Unicode range, supporting Urdu, Persian(
Farsi), Arabic, Pashto, Punjabi (Shahmukhi), Sindhi, and any other language written
in Arabic‑script.
### Can I disable the auto‑detection?
Yes. In the Block Editor, flip the toggle in the _Urdu RTL_ document panel. In the
Classic Editor, click the **RTL** toolbar button to switch manually.
