# [Plugin: Hyphenator] exceptions settings not applied

 * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hyphenator-exceptions-settings-not-applied/)
 * On the site [http://www.opvoedingsboek.nl](http://www.opvoedingsboek.nl) I’ve
   tried to change the settings of hyphenator to include these exceptions:
    `echt-
   scheiding, kinder-yoga, jaar-feesten, multi-media, kinderwijze,`
 * I use hyphenator in the sidebar category list, which is designed as orange and
   pink blocks stacked top to bottom on site. In the sidebar.php I defined the class:
   `
   <div id="secondary" class="sidebar hyphenate">`
 * The category names are hyphened, but the exceptions are not displayed as defined.
   I haven’t been able to solve this problem after searching for more information
   here and on the developer site.
 * WP version: 3.1
    Hyphenator: 4.0.0
 * Language is set to Dutch; otherwise I use default settings.
 * In the source code (header section) of the page it says:
    `<html xmlns="http://
   www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="nl-NL">` Manually changing the language
   settings in the header.php to lang=”nl” didn’t help.
 * Generated plugin code (through wp-head()php string):
 *     ```
       <!-- Hyphenator for WordPress -->
       	<script src="http://www.opvoedingsboek.nl/wp-content/plugins/hyphenator/Hyphenator.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       	<script src="http://www.opvoedingsboek.nl/wp-content/plugins/hyphenator/patterns/nl.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       	<script type="text/javascript">
       		Hyphenator.config({
       			classname: 'hyphenate',
       			displaytogglebox: true,
       			remoteloading: false,
       			defaultlanguage: 'nl'
       		});
       		Hyphenator.addExceptions('', 'echt-scheiding, kinder-yoga, jaar-feesten, multi-media, kinderwijze,');
       		Hyphenator.run();
       	</script>
       ```
   
 * I tested it in Firefox 3.6, Opera 10.11 and Chrome 20.0.xxx
 * Please help! Thanks, Patricia

 * I’ve checked your code, but can’t find the problem. The last comma without a 
   following word let the previous exception be ignored, but that’s only a problem
   for “kinderwijze”. I don’t know why the others aren’t used. Sorry.
 * I’ve only written the WordPress plugin, the JavaScript code who does actually
   the hyphenation is from Mathias Nater ([Hyphenator.js](http://code.google.com/p/hyphenator/)).
   I’ve wrote him an e-mail, maybe he is able to help.
