Typo Hunter is a lightweight proofreading tool for WordPress. A reader spots a typo, selects the incorrect text, and submits a correction in a simple modal. You get the report; your content gets better.<\/p>\n\n

No external service. No complicated workflow. Just a fast way to turn readers into helpful contributors.<\/p>\n\n

Core Features<\/h3>\n\n

\ud83c\udfaf Simple typo reporting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Visitors can click the \u201cReport a typo\u201d link below a post or select text and use Ctrl+Enter<\/code> (Cmd+Enter<\/code> on Mac) to open the reporting form.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udcdd A focused review workflow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

All reports are collected in the WordPress admin area, with the incorrect text, suggested correction, post, URL, and date available at a glance.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Built-in abuse protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Rate limiting and duplicate detection help keep the report queue useful without adding another anti-spam service.<\/p>\n\n

\u26a1 Lightweight on the front end<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Typo Hunter loads its assets only on single posts and pages. Report submissions use AJAX, so the plugin works well with page caching.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83c\udfa8 Easy to customize<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The interface uses regular HTML and predictable typohunter-*<\/code> CSS classes, making it straightforward to adapt to your theme.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udd12 Privacy-conscious by design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

IP addresses are hashed for rate limiting and are not stored with reports. Inputs are sanitized, validated, and protected with WordPress nonces.<\/p>\n\n

Pro Features<\/h3>\n\n

Typo Hunter Pro adds:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Analytics with trends and most-reported posts<\/li>\n
  • Instant, daily, or weekly email notifications<\/li>\n
  • CSV and PDF report exports<\/li>\n
  • 30 reports per hour instead of 5<\/li>\n
  • Priority support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    How It Works<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    1. A reader finds a typo in a post or page.<\/li>\n
    2. They select the incorrect text and press Ctrl+Enter<\/code> or Cmd+Enter<\/code>, or click the report link.<\/li>\n
    3. They enter the suggested correction and submit the report.<\/li>\n
    4. You review the report in Typo Hunter > Reports<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    5. You correct the content and keep publishing with confidence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      2. Search for Typo Hunter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      3. Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
      4. Open Typo Hunter<\/strong> from the WordPress admin menu.<\/li>\n
      5. In Settings<\/strong>, choose whether to enable text highlighting and database logging.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        You can also install Typo Hunter manually:<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        1. Download the plugin ZIP file.<\/li>\n
        2. Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        3. Upload the ZIP file, install it, and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n

          How do visitors report a typo?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          They can click the \u201cReport a typo\u201d link displayed below single posts, or select text and press Ctrl+Enter<\/code> on Windows\/Linux or Cmd+Enter<\/code> on macOS.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Where do I review reports?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Open Typo Hunter > Reports<\/strong> in the WordPress admin menu. Reports include the selected text, correction, post, URL, and submission date.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does Typo Hunter work with any theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          It is designed to work with any WordPress theme. The report link is added to single posts and pages, and the markup can be styled with your own CSS.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Will Typo Hunter slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          The front-end CSS and JavaScript load only on single posts and pages. Report submissions are handled asynchronously, and report data uses indexed database queries.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I disable the keyboard shortcut?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. Go to Typo Hunter > Settings<\/strong> and disable Enable Text Highlighting<\/strong>. Visitors can still use the report link.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          How does the plugin prevent spam?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Free users can submit up to 5 reports per hour per IP address. Pro users can submit up to 30. Duplicate reports submitted within a short period are rejected.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Is personal information stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Typo Hunter does not store IP addresses with reports. A hashed IP address is used temporarily for rate limiting. Review your own privacy policy and site configuration to determine the disclosures required for your installation.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I export reports?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. Typo Hunter Pro can export reports to CSV or PDF, with optional date and post filters.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I customize the report link?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. Go to Typo Hunter > Settings<\/strong> and change the report link text. You can also override the plugin\u2019s CSS classes in your theme.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
