Setting Up the Plugin

Setting up Findword to your liking is done inside of the administrator control panel of WordPress (or ClassicPress). There are fourteen main settings that can be changed or left alone as default settings. One of the most important settings is the Wrapper Class Name which is located inside of the admin panel for the main plugin FindWord TSW. That menu should still be intact once you install FWPlus.

FindWord TSW is the core to FindWord TSW Plus and must be installed prior to running FWPlus.

The Wrapper Class

Setting the “wrapper” class will let this plugin know WHERE you want visitors to search, contextually, on your site. The default is hentry class which, is the standard WP class name of the page or post article content.

You can find this setting in the FindWord TSW settings page.

How to find an appropriate wrapper class name

A class name is an HTML definition that gives a part of your website page an identity or character name. This identity is used in the stylesheet of your website and can be altered to display content to fit the styling needs of your pages. The stylesheet uses an interface language called CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) to list these identity characters and then assign each identity character its own value; like color, weight, size, padding, margin and borders, etc.

To find the name of your contents class, you can right click your mouse on the part of the page that contains the most viable content that you want readers to search in. Most likely this is going to be the content that would be “wrapped” inside of the article class name so; it is most appropriate to use the name you find when you right click on content and go to the Inspector tool in your browser dropdown selection tool (what you see when you right-click).

You are looking for a “class” name only. In the example below, the Inspector window is open and we are looking at the full page name of site-main but, we may want to use the article class name of hentry instead so we don’t get the title and headings caught up in our word search.
