Censor/Hide Phone Numbers

  • Hi guys,
    I’m not sure if this is possible or not. What I’m wanting to do is censor phone numbers that may be left in comments. I am aware of the bad word filters but I’m looking for a plugin or hack that I can use to censor phone numbers. Does anyone know of a way I can do this?
    Thanks for any help.

  • I’d suggest setting up a filter for the comment body text. Something like this…

    function my_remove_phonenumbers($comment_text) {
    /* Do your processing in here to remove/censor phone numbers */

    return $comment_text;
}

add_filter ('get_comment_text', 'my_remove_phonenumbers');

    That should let you filter for whatever patterns you want to look for and return the comment body after you’re done with it.
