Apologies if I’ve not had enough of a look and the answer is in here somewhere.
I’m trying to achieve the following
When wordA is typed into a post, it gets replaced with wordB or phrase upon submit
ATM I know I can censor which is sort of ok but sub optimal
On that front, watched words in the menu item Logs is really counter intuitive.
Does anyone know of how or a plug-in that would meet my needs?

It has come up a number of times and I do want us to get to it, but “substitute” is not yet a possible Watched Words action.

Thank you
I’ll stand down for the moment and sit tight 🙂
