Description

RM24 Text Replacer lets you change any text that WordPress, WooCommerce, your theme or your plugins output through their translations – directly in the admin area.

There is no need to edit .po/.mo files or to write custom filter code whenever a wording should be different, and your changes survive all updates.

Common use cases

  • Change WooCommerce button labels and shop notices.
  • Use your own terminology across the storefront, e.g. Swiss spelling.
  • Adjust plugin texts without losing the change on the next update.

Features

  • Whole words only: a rule never changes parts of longer words.
  • Fast: rules are loaded once per request and checked with a quick pre-filter.
  • Unlimited rules: add, edit or remove as many replacement pairs as you need.
  • Clean interface: under RM24 Text Replacer, together with all other RM24 plugins.
  • Translations: German, French and Italian (English is the base language).

RM24 Text Replacer PRO

The separate PRO add-on (available at rm24.ch) adds a CSV import for many terms at once and lets each rule apply to the frontend, the backend or everywhere. This free plugin is fully functional on its own.

External services

The RM24 overview page (RM24 Overview) can show a list of further RM24 plugins. The list is only loaded after you click “Show more RM24 plugins”. It is then requested from https://rm24.ch/plugin_updates/modules.json and cached for 12 hours. No data about your site, your shop or its customers is sent; the request only contains the data every web request contains (such as your server’s IP address).

The service is provided by RM24 | Roger Roth: Terms and privacy policy.

  1. Install the plugin through Plugins Add New, or upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin.
  3. Go to RM24 Text Replacer.
  4. Enter the original text and the new text, then click “Save changes”. The replacements apply immediately.
Does this plugin change theme or plugin files?

No. It works through the standard WordPress translation filters (gettext, ngettext and their context variants). All files stay untouched and update-safe.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. All WooCommerce texts that pass through the WordPress translation functions can be replaced.

Why is a text not replaced?

Only texts that are output through the WordPress translation functions can be replaced. Texts that are typed into pages, posts or product descriptions are not affected – edit them where they were written.
