Matt Mullenweg<\/a> is one of the founders of WordPress (thanks!) and back in 2010 he committed a new piece of code<\/a> to correct automatically every single “Wordpress”, without a capital P, to “WordPress<\/strong>“, with a capital P. Are you curious to know why, if you search in Google for P dangit filter you will find almost 1.5 million results?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Although that is a very nice initiative, it was not discussed with the community whether the “WordPress” word should be auto-corrected or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"capital<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We are not here to make judgments, but to improve the speed of your WordPress<\/a><\/strong>. Since that little piece of code (the filter) is being executed in every single page of your website, we believe it is better to remove it<\/strong> from your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, first open the “functions.php<\/strong>” file of your theme. You should use an FTP client like Filezilla<\/a> or log in to your hosting control panel and use their file manager. The file will be located in the path “\/wp-content\/themes\/your-theme\/”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you can edit the file, add the following at the end of the file<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/* Removing capital P dangit *\/\nremove_filter( 'the_title', 'capital_P_dangit', 11 );\nremove_filter( 'the_content', 'capital_P_dangit', 11 );\nremove_filter( 'comment_text', 'capital_P_dangit', 31 );<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Save the file and you are done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
