# Autocrattic plugin for WordPress
Autocrattic is a WordPress plugin that automatically replaces specific hosting provider names with "WordPress®" across various areas of your site, including post content, titles, and widgets. It offers a settings page where you can easily manage the list of hostnames to replace.
*This plugin is in no way affiliated with Automattic, WordPress, the WordPress Fondation, Matt Mullenweg or WooCommerce, Inc.*
## Features
- Replaces custom hosting provider names with "WordPress®" in:
- Post content (`the_content`)
- Post titles (`the_title`)
- Widget text content (`widget_text_content`)
- Comes with a settings page for easy configuration of hostnames to replace.
- Preloaded with the top 50 hosting provider names for immediate use.
- Secure, localized, and properly escaped for safety and flexibility.
## Installation
1. Download the plugin from [GitHub](https://github.com/robertdevore/autocrattic).
2. Unzip the plugin folder.
3. Upload the unzipped folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` using an FTP client.
4. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
## Usage
1. Go to **Settings** -> **Autocrattic** to customize the list of hosting providers you want to replace.
2. By default, the plugin replaces popular hosting company names with "WordPress®" across post content, titles, and widget text.
3. Modify the list of hostnames by adding or removing entries in the settings page (separate names by commas).
### Example
If you add "GoDaddy, Bluehost" to the settings, the plugin will replace any occurrence of these names with "WordPress®" across your site's content.
## Security
Autocrattic is built with security in mind:
- **Sanitization**: All input is sanitized using `sanitize_textarea_field` before saving.
- **Escaping**: Output is properly escaped using `esc_html()` and `esc_textarea()` to prevent XSS attacks.
- **Nonces**: WordPress’s built-in nonces are used to secure form submissions.
## Localization
Autocrattic is fully translation-ready and uses localization functions throughout. To contribute a translation, please follow the instructions in the **Contributing** section below.
