Title: partial widow control Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # partial widow control * Resolved [Julianwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julianwave/) * (@julianwave) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/) * Hi * I have pasted the code you suggested: * `$typo = WP_Typography::get_instance(); add_filter('acf_the_content', array( $typo, 'process' ) ); * into functions.php in the hope of activating the typography plugin for ACF fields. * It seems to recognise it, all my quotemarks are converted to proper curly quotes for example. However, widow control seems a bit hit and miss. It seems to work in some places, not in others. * Is this to be expected? Is there anything I can do about it? * Thanks * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-typography/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-typography/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7698870) * This only happens with ACF fields? Or for all content? Have you got a specific example for me (i.e. content source, intended result and actual result)? * Thread Starter [Julianwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julianwave/) * (@julianwave) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7698938) * Thanks for the quick reply. My site is only on mamp at the moment so I have nothing I can share. Basically I have 4 acf wysiwyg fields on a page. for 2 of them the widow control seems to be working, for the other 2 it seems to have no effect. It seems to be something to do with either the html or the css, because the 2 that work have a different layout and css to the 2 that don’t. When I get it online I will share it so you can see. I am trying out using acf for most of the layout, including the main content, so it is acf fields specifically I am referring to. * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7698945) * You could post content source snippets here. Not sure about widows per se, but you have to ensure that your theme does not set `hyphens: auto;` if you want to use wp-Typography’s hyphenation settings. * Thread Starter [Julianwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julianwave/) * (@julianwave) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699008) * Quick update – I have had another problem. With wp typography enabled, and the code… * $typo = WP_Typography::get_instance(); add_filter(‘acf_the_content’, array( $typo, ‘process’ ) );` * …added to functions php as recommended, I found captions to images stopped appearing. * When I looked closer, captioned images added with the acf wysiwyg were no longer wrapped in a figure tag as they should be. * I was also getting a “white screen of death” problem when I tried to deactivate the plugin. Eventually, removing the plugin from the plugins folder manually, and deleting the code from functions php fixed that. * As I use a lot of acf, I think I had better keep wp typography turned off for now. * It’s a great idea, I hope you continue to develop and improve it. * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699010) * Sure, if your `functions.php` calls `WP_Typography::get_instance()` when the plugin is not activated, you will get a white screen. You have to wrap your code with something like `if ( class_exists( 'WP_Typography' ) ) { ... }` to prevent that. (That goes for all custom plugin functions you access in your theme’s ` functions.php` – always check if they are available first!) * As for the problem with `figure`: Do you have an example for me? I don’t see how wp-Typography would interact with figures at all. * PS: What version of WP_Typography are you using? The filter might be applied twice because recent versions already add it automatically for `wysiwyg` type fields. * Thread Starter [Julianwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julianwave/) * (@julianwave) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699013) * As I have disabled the plugin I can not show you a real example, especially as the site is not live. However I can tell you as closely as possible what seems to have happened, as far as the captions are concerned. * I will go through it methodically. * I have some acf wysiwyg fields. * If I add content to them, including images with captions, and with wp typography turned off, the images and captions appear as they should, wrapped in figure tags. eg * ```

` is probably a remnant of WordPress’` wpautop` filter and should not be a problem. It looks like the `
` tag was somehow removed. If wp-Typography’s filter is applied twice, that might be a symptom (it should not be be, but there is an HTML parser involved, which might skip the tag if the parser thought it was invalid). * Could you try re-enabling wp-Typography 3.4.0, but disabling the extra code in your `functions.php`? * Thread Starter [Julianwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julianwave/) * (@julianwave) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699016) * I have made sure the unwanted p tags are removed, and reenabled wp typography, but still get the same problem. * Which extra code in functions.php should be disabled? * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699017) * The line with `add_filter('acf_the_content', array( $typo, 'process' ) );` * Thread Starter [Julianwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julianwave/) * (@julianwave) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699018) * If I do that, the captions etc reappear, but presumably wp typography is no longer doing anything at all to any of the acf content? * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699019) * No, it is since 3.4.0. See [https://github.com/mundschenk-at/wp-typography/blob/master/includes/class-wp-typography.php#L251](https://github.com/mundschenk-at/wp-typography/blob/master/includes/class-wp-typography.php#L251) in the source. You can test this easily by adding an acronym somewhere in the caption and setting the option to add CSS classes for it in wp-Typography’s settings. * Thread Starter [Julianwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julianwave/) * (@julianwave) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699020) * If I remove the “add_filter” code then my acronym does not get the “caps” class. However if I re add the “add_filter” code then it does get the “aps” class added. However it is then that the captions disappear etc. * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699022) * Which version of ACF are you using? * Thread Starter [Julianwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julianwave/) * (@julianwave) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699025) * I’m using the latest version of everything. * Plugin Author [pepe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pputzer/) * (@pputzer) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partial-widow-control/#post-7699026) * Well yes, but is that the free or the pro version?
