Matnban

Matnban is a Persian writing assistant for WordPress — built for Persian the way SEO plugins are built for keywords.

Persian typography has rules that generic editors silently break: missing half-spaces (ZWNJ) in prefixed verbs, Arabic look-alike characters (Arabic yeh and kaf) that break search and spell-checkers, Arabic-Indic digits, wrong quotation marks, decorative kashida, and invisible direction marks pasted from messaging apps. Matnban fixes all of this — with one click, or automatically.

Features

• One-click correction in the post editor — 16+ rules: ZWNJ for verb prefixes (mi, nami, bi) and suffixes (ha, tar, tarin), the ezafe ye, Arabic character and digit conversion to Persian, Persian quotes and punctuation, kashida removal, and cleanup of invisible direction marks (RLM/LRM) that break copied text
• Optional automatic correction on save, or on display (display mode never modifies the database)
• Persian readability panel in the post editor: sentence-length analysis and keyword density with Persian stemming — the focus keyphrase is read automatically from Yoast SEO or Rank Math when present
• Site-wide writing health report: scan all posts, list the ones with issues, export to CSV
• Guidance for Persian-friendly image filenames and alt text

All processing happens locally on your site with PHP. This plugin sends no requests to any external service.

A premium version with bulk post fixing, an AI assistant (using your own API key) and a smart English slug generator is sold separately at https://webbanwp.ir/ — the code for those features is not included in this plugin.
