WP_Censor is a free plug-in for WordPress that allows you set-up censored keywords or phrases allowing you to quote freely and not have to manually censor the text as you insert it. Functionality has been added to hide censored text and allow the user to decide whether to see the text. WP_Spoiler has been merged into WP_Censor to allow you not just the ability to censor, but to also hide spoiler text.
- download WP_Censor.
- Copy to your ‘wp-content/plugins‘ directory.
- Log in with an administration account.
- Select the ‘Plugins‘ tab.
- Scroll down to ‘WP_Censor’ and click ‘activate‘.
Options
Log into WordPress with an Administrator login and select “Settings->Censor” on the dashboard menu.
There are three styles of censoring depending on your preference or what you are censoring.
- Government
- Description: This is based on what you tend to see in released government document that are censored to still withhold some information.
- Example: Dear Mr AccountHolder, your bank account 000000 00000000 , is overdrawn.
- Newspaper
- Description: This is based on how newspapers often censor swear words, leaving enough of a it for your to deduce the real word.
- Example: The attacker told him to “fuck off”.
- Comic
- Description: This is based on how swear words are often done in comics. Totally obscuring the word, and less harsh that the solid black bar.
- Example: oh shit.

Nice and useful plugin, but you may want to re-code the admin panel so that it appears under “Options” instead of taking up a main Admin category… (Also, “Manage” doesn’t tell me much about it) - Just use “WP-Censor” under the Options menu, like every other plugin.
I downloaded this plugin as a precaution for my new site. Boy, this plug would be lights out if you could enter all the words you want censored and it did a “global” search of posts and automatically censored the words. Maybe tied to the save post command. I will keep you informed of success and failure. thanks for the plugin
The point of the plugin was to keep the original text intact.
But I can see your point. It ill be considered for inclusion as an option for later versions.
Hey great plugin, I needed one of these! Are there plans to have this be developed further, in the sense that users can save a profile of what version of the website they want to see between censored or raw? (also, is that what you mean by “Ability to censor on save rather than on the fly?” If so, then you are way ahead of me.
@Ted: What is mean by the ability to censor on save, is it will modify the post as it is saved, making it irrevocably censored. This would be quicker, and independent of the plugin. This of course would be optional.
I’ve not sure what you mean by the profile,you could turn off the plugin to see the raw site. Can you explain further?
hello
I just used the automatic upgrade feature of WP to upgrade your plugin and I got the following warning:
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-censor.3.0.0.zip
Unpacking the update
Deactivating the plugin
Removing the old version of the plugin

and then below it
Plugin reactivated successfully.
Do I have to do anything about this or is it ok since it says it reactivated successfully.
Thanks
@elle:
Everything is just fine. The is a small bug that when the plugin is first run, it refers to settings that have not yet been set. This will be fixed in future release, but should not affect you once you have setup the plugin.
Thanks!
Nice idea! Is it possible to apply this plugin to comments like WP-Politeifier does?
José Luís : this is planned for a future version, but is not yet implemented.
Great! I can’t wait for it!
Sorry I didn’t come back in a while, had to deal with some stuff.
Basically what I mean is that there would be two buttons somewhere on the site’s frontend: a “censored” button and an “uncensored” button. If censored was chosen (and it would be chosen by default,) the content of the website would be censored out. But if uncensored was chosen by the visitor, they would get an uncensored version of the site, and the website would remember their choice for the next time they visit.
What do you think?
Hi,
Do spider catch up those links or words within censor?
If not do you have any suggestion that can protect the content from spider?
Thanks!
@JC,
A would see exactly what a public user would see, IE the censored post.
Hi, DCoda!
Any news (ETA) on that new version that censors not only posts and pages but also comments?
Thanks once again!
DCoda, what if one adds the following line to wp-censor/project/censor/index.php?
add_filter ( 'comment_text', array ($this, 'filter' ) );
