Word Guard – Content Scanning & Keyword Control

Word Guard is a lightweight editorial styleguide and content consistency plugin for WordPress. It helps editors, publishers, and content teams enforce approved terminology and writing standards across posts and pages. Administrators can define a custom editorial styleguide by specifying keywords or phrases to flag, along with one or more preferred alternatives. Editors can then scan content directly from the WordPress editor to identify non-compliant language, highlight flagged terms, and replace them with approved alternatives in just a few clicks. Unlike automated rewriting tools, Word Guard keeps editors in full control. Scans are manual, changes are intentional, and no content is modified without user approval. Word Guard works seamlessly with both Gutenberg and the Classic Editor, making it ideal for modern WordPress sites as well as legacy setups. This plugin is especially useful for:

• Editorial teams
• Publishers and news sites
• Agencies managing multiple writers
• Organizations enforcing brand or legal language standards
