Automatic NBSP

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I was hunting for a mysteriously broken code block formatting, where some line breaks were stripped away. It turned out this plug-in was the cause. Share it seems not longer maintained. I would love to continue to use it.

   I installed this plugin mainly to auto-add non-breakable space after prepositions. This works well. I also appreciate the easy settings page of this plugin. However, there are many things which could be done better: The plugin page claims to cover Czech but I can only choose between Polish and English vocabulary in the settings. There is no information on whether the plugin kicks in when saving a post or rendering it. I discovered it’s while rendering. This is good to fix older posts as well but it might make each rendering a bit slower. A link to the plugin settings could be shown on the Plugins page. The plugin only offers adding   after the customizable vocabulary words and before preset punctuation marks. I’d be glad if both lists were customizable. The plugin offers no way to automatically add   in more complicated situations, e.g. after numbers, especially ordinal ones (the German or Czech way). And last but not least, the plugin should be tested with the latest WordPress releases, although it’s doing well for me with WordPress 5.6. This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by melebius. Reason: external links removed

   Hello, While WordPress is at version 5, I don’t understand why it is still necessary to use a plugin to fix the problem of no break spaces before double height signs. Fortunately Damian Gora developed Automatic NBSP and solved the problem. Many thanks Damian for this great plugin, simple and efficient.

   It does not work on WordPress 4.9.8. The developer has not responded here in almost 2 years. Either fix this thing or remove it!

   This plugin is awesome, I hate seeing some punctuation on a newline because people don’t use unbreakable spaces, this beauty makes it automatic and only if a space has been typed, so it does not force the usage of spaces but makes it simple and clever.
