Biggest opportunity: Swap “content” for “break”. “content” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “break” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.5%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 28.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “content” for “break”. “content” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “break” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Le potentiel de ce plugin est certain quand on veut respecter la ponctuation française…Hélas, mes divers essais avec Elementor ont été infructueux…Peut-être que je ne sais pas faire, d’où ma note de 3 étoiles.Si on me donne la solution, je passe la note à 5 étoiles !!! Cordialement..

Merci beaucoup pour ce plugin ! Tellement frustrant sans cela…..

Extension d’une redoutable efficacité ! Gère les ponctuations, mais aussi la séparation des milliers et l’insécable qui précède certaines devises.Contrairement à ce qui est dit dans un avis précédent, fonctionne parfaitement avec Elementor. Bravo !

Allô JS Morissette, Merci de ton plugin Ça marche bien dans WordPress. mais saint-simonac, y marche pas dans Elementor !!! Câline de bine C’est tu bhen compliqué de le faire fonctionner dans Elementor ? Je dois certainement pas être le seul à être francophone + qui utilise Elementor + qui a un devoir de faire marcher une page web avec une typo qui’s’tien d’boute bref Au plaisir de te lire si tu passes à l’action chu même prêt à payer un ti-montant, genre moins de 50$ 😉 Amitiés Marc

Bonjour, je suis déçu. J’utilise l’éditeur Elementor et le thème OceanWP dans ce contexte, le plugin ne place pas d’espace insécable ! Est un problème corrigeable par le concepteur ? Par ailleurs, pour ceux chez qui ça fonctionne, le plugin met-il des espaces insécables comme séparateur des milliers, là où j’ai souligné_: 2_320_000_? Robert.

Bravo ! J’avais l’habitude d’utiliser Automatic NBSP mais il fait planter les formulaires Gravity Forms utilisés avec Elementor. Je viens d’installer cette extension et hop, ça marche sans problème. En réponse à un commentaire posté plus bas : il n’y a rien à faire ! Il faut écrire normalement, c-a-d laisser une espace avant les signes de ponctuation de double hauteur. L’extension ajoutera automatiquement une espace insécable à l’affichage. Rien n’apparaît lors de l’écriture du texte. Encore merci au développeur de cette extension.

L’extension remplit parfaitement son rôle. L’insertion des espaces insécables s’effectue automatiquement dès que le plugin est installé. Il n’y a rien à faire côté éditeur (Gutenberg avec version WP 5.5.1). Toutes les publications effectuées avant l’activation de l’extension bénéficient des correctifs. Good job ! Thanks (merci beaucoup) 😉
