ವಿವರಣೆ
Urdu Text Fixer makes writing Urdu, Persian, and Arabic content in WordPress effortless. It automatically detects Arabic‑script text (Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Pashto, and others) in both the Block Editor (Gutenberg) and the Classic Editor (TinyMCE) and switches the editing area to right‑to‑left (RTL) mode.
Mixed bidirectional content:
English words, Western‑Arabic digits, and punctuation like ! , "" () - embedded in Arabic‑script text are automatically wrapped with Unicode bidirectional isolation markers so they render left‑to‑right inside the surrounding RTL context.
No configuration needed:
The plugin works out of the box. A toggle in the Document Settings panel (Block Editor) or a toolbar button (Classic Editor) lets you disable auto‑detection if needed.
Features
- Auto‑detection
Recognises Arabic‑script characters as you type or paste - Classic Editor support
A TinyMCE plugin with a toolbar button and live RTL switching - Bidirectional text fixing
English words, numbers, and special characters are wrapped in Unicode LRI/PDI isolation markers during save and display - Front‑end rendering
Arabic‑script posts are wrapped in<div dir="rtl">so they display correctly on the public site - Comments support
Arabic‑script comments also receive RTL treatment - HTML‑safe
Processes only text nodes, leaving HTML tags intact - Idempotent
Running the fix twice produces the same result; no duplicate markers accumulate
Screenshots
Without the plugin: Urdu text in the Block Editor with broken alignment. 
With the plugin: same content properly flowing RTL with character rendering correctly inside the Urdu context.

FAQ
-
Does the plugin modify my saved post content?
-
Yes. When a post contains Arabic‑script text, Unicode bidirectional isolation markers (invisible characters) are added to English words and numbers so they render correctly inside the RTL context. These markers are invisible and do not affect the visual appearance of your text.
-
Will it affect my existing posts?
-
Only if you edit and re‑save them. Previously published posts are not altered until you update them in the editor.
-
Does it work with the Classic Editor plugin?
-
Yes, the Classic Editor (TinyMCE) is fully supported.
-
What languages are supported?
-
The plugin detects the entire Arabic script Unicode range, supporting Urdu, Persian (Farsi), Arabic, Pashto, Punjabi (Shahmukhi), Sindhi, and any other language written in Arabic‑script.
-
Can I disable the auto‑detection?
-
Yes. In the Block Editor, flip the toggle in the Urdu RTL document panel. In the Classic Editor, click the RTL toolbar button to switch manually.
