Via Shawn, I came across a neat plugin called Title Case for WordPress.
Basically the plugin converts all headings and titles into appropriate title case.
Before: This is a cool plugin.
After: This is a Cool Plugin.
This plugin is a necessity for multi-author blogs, where various authors have different capitalization schemes.
I applied the plugin here and immediately noticed the difference.
Title Case – Before
I highlighted the areas in red that weren’t in title case.
Title Case – After
After applying the plugin, you can see the difference.
Custom Function
Currently the plugin uses a WordPress filter called ‘the_title’. However, it is my experience that not everybody uses this for all areas of their site.
Here is a function you could put into your theme’s functions.php, which you can call if you need to put something into title case that doesn’t involve invoking the template tag the_title.
function title_case($string = '') {
if (function_exists('nv_title_case')) {
return nv_title_case($string);
}
return $string;
}
The function assumes you have the WP Title Case plugin installed.
Conclusion
WP Title Case is a fantastic and simple plugin that converts normal text into title case. It is ideal for multi-author blogs where authors have various capitalization schemes.

I don’t have a problem with uppercase, but I do with lower case. In specific, capitalized categories when used as tags are still capitalized. Sometimes, as in using a proper name, it’s needed and other times it’s a pain. In my case, a plugin that would let me selectively use lower case tags would be better.
Yes, I see this plugin very useful for multi author blogs, especially when the authors have different habits regarding writing the titles.
@RT,
You could use CSS to lowercase them. Would that work?
I didn’t think of that. I’ll check it out.
