Word’s Blocker Addon
The Word's Blocker Addon for CS-Cart can block bad words in simple ways. It can either remove the bad word or replace letters with asterisks (*).
The Word Blocker Addon for CS-Cart automatically detects profanity and other unwanted words across product names, descriptions, features, filters, options, and categories. When a blocked word appears, the add-on either removes it entirely or replaces it with asterisks and sends a warning notification, so store content stays clean without manual review. Admins manage their own list of blocked words and can turn case sensitivity on or off to control whether uppercase and lowercase variations are matched exactly or ignored. It is built for CS-Cart store owners and Multi-Vendor marketplace operators who need to keep listings professional across many products and sellers.

Frequently asked questions
Where in a CS-Cart store does the Word Blocker Addon check for bad words?
It scans product names, descriptions, features, filters, options, and categories. When a blocked word is found, it is automatically removed or replaced and a warning notification is shown.
How does the add-on replace blocked words?
You can choose partial or full replacement. Partial masking keeps the first and last letters and replaces the middle with asterisks (for example "b***d"), while full replacement swaps the entire word for asterisks (for example "****").
What does the case sensitivity setting do?
With case sensitivity off, the add-on removes matching words regardless of uppercase or lowercase. With it on, words are matched exactly, including their letter case.
Does the Word Blocker Addon work with CS-Cart Multi-Vendor?
Yes. It is integrated with CS-Cart Multi-Vendor, so blocked-word filtering applies across a marketplace. Installation follows the standard add-on process at https://store.ecarter.co/blogs/how-to-install-addon/.
