When you make this change to the plugin, you'll end up with 3 end parenthesis after $title. This will convert all words to lowercase, then apply the capitalization. Oxonian, edit the plugin to replace

ucwords($title)

with

ucwords(strtolower($title))

Note the additional end parenthesis. When you make this change to the plugin, you’ll end up with 3 end parenthesis after $title.

This will convert all words to lowercase, then apply the capitalization.

Could you please indicate how to tweak the code so that the plugin will alter words written in all caps? I tried inserting the 'ucwords(strtolower($title))' command in various places, but I don't know php and I couldn't get the tweaked plugin to work. Thanks for creating this plugin.

The best solution would be to ask your host to update PHP, but I'll try to put together a version of the plugin for those people using PHP4 in the next few days.

I dropped your plugin into the appropriate directory on my server and then tried to view my site again. After doing so, I found the following message had replaced my site: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_ireplace() in /home/methaner/public_html/sicmagazine/wp-content/plugins/ardamis-titlecase.php on line 36" Well, I deactivated the plugin and the site returned to a working state. My question: am I retarded? Next question: do I need to paste code into some file in addition to installing/activating your plug-in? All I really want is to have control over how titles are displayed on my page. Is this really asking so much? Hi, Ardamis.

My question: am I retarded?

Next question: do I need to paste code into some file in addition to installing/activating your plug-in?

All I really want is to have control over how titles are displayed on my page. Is this really asking so much?

Suppose our heading is: A Plugin for the Masses This plugin will keep (or create) that capitalization by allowing certain small words to stay lowercase. CSS cannot do this; it's an all or nothing situation. For example, CSS { text-transform: capitalize; } would capitalize every word, generating: A Plugin For The Masses while CSS { text-transform: uppercase; } would generate: A PLUGIN FOR THE MASSES This plugin is for people who care about capitalization enough to realize CSS isn't capable of producing the desired results.
