I don't know if my e-mail reached you, so I pose my question again here: Since I am writing in my blog in German, I'd like to use the -feature, too. But there is a problem: the plugin seems not to recognize German umlauts like ÄÖÜ as capital letters, therefore does not span them with the caps-class. It's even worse, because a word like SPÖ is transformed into SPÖ. Any idea how I could make this work? Hi Hamish, thank you for this great plugin.

Yes, I knew I need to style it in CSS amd I have done it as well but I couldn't see any tags around ampersand. However I found out why it didn't work... It was my bad. I was testing with typing just &"something" to see how it works. Of course in ths world, there wouldn't be a paragraph which starts a ampersand. As soon as I typed more words before the ampersand, tags appeared and it got styled as I specify in its CSS. Also that quotes are not initial quotes either. Hamish, I apology my bad, i should've test it with more realistic example. Hamish

But I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of the plugin. wp-typogrify doesn't directly change the appearance of your ampersands, it simply wraps them in a span tag, so you can style them yourself -- see <a href="http://ilovetypography.com/2008/04/13/sunday-type-ampersand-type/" rel="nofollow">John's post on I Love Typography</a> for more info. (The section on styling ampersands) You also mentioned quotes, in this case, typogrify should make them proper quotes (left and right) and wrap initial quotes, but styling is again up to you. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you have any more concerns. Takashi

The Read-me says "upload the php-typogrify folder" but which folder does it mean? there is no folder called like that. So i upload the "wp-typogrify" folder then activate the plugin but no-effect to ampersands nor quoat marks... Of course I checked all options under Option > Typgrify too. Please assist me the installation and please let me know if you can think why it doesn't work at all. Hello, I may be only person though, I can’t get this plug-in work.

I'm using the older version for title control. I know I should upgrade but it's a great feature. I did have a question about widows on get_post_meta content. This doesn't seem to be working even with the newer plugin version, any thoughts on this, perhaps I need to surround this with code I'm unaware of? Also, I added in some additional code to prettify your dashboard back-end area and bring it up to the 2.5 world. I'll be happy to send this over and spare you the trouble if you're interested.

I've also moved up to WP2.5 and have experienced no problems. I don't wrap caps, so I don't suffer from that tooltip problem; and I have absolutely no idea how it can be fixed. I'll leave that to you. Thanks again for a great plugin. I love typogrify! I’ve also moved up to WP2.5 and have experienced no problems.

I'm glad you like it. And yeah, I gotta update all the plugin info. As for the tag pages, just noticed that myself. It's weird because I thought I tested them after the upgrade. Dan
