Sources & migration notes
Persian Kit documentationPersian WooCommerce
Review supported settings and Iranian address mappings before import. Persian WooCommerce Shipping is a separate plugin: its shipping methods, city rates, maps and SMS services do not transfer into Persian Kit.
Try any migration on a backed-up test copy first.
Test results
Each plugin was enabled separately on the same Persian WordPress site. Results apply to these settings and examples.
| Test | Persian Kit | Persian WooCommerce |
|---|---|---|
| Search for کتاب or كتاب | Found both sample posts | Found one sample post |
| Jalali leap day and new year | Both dates correct | Both dates correct |
| Stored dates after display | Unchanged | Unchanged |
| Date format for software¹ | Original format preserved | Format changed |
¹ One WordPress date function was tested. This does not establish how every feed or SEO plugin behaves.
Test inputs and exact output
Two posts were saved: one with Persian ک and one with Arabic ك. The saved text was not changed.
Persian WooCommerce changed both queries to Persian letters and returned the Persian-spelled post. Persian Kit also found the post saved with Arabic letters.

The same small test site, with date features enabled. These numbers measure PHP execution on the server, not page loading in a browser. Each plugin performed somewhat different work.

Lower is better for this metric. p95 shows the slower end of the sample. Configuration and enabled work differ between plugins; close numbers are not a reliable ranking. Persian Kit’s spelling search was off for this date-focused benchmark. Memory, query counts and individual samples are included in the downloadable results.
Code checks
Plugin Check was run on all three plugins. Persian Kit’s own tests were also run; the other plugins’ test suites were not run.
Tests, coding standards & limitations
Persian Kit’s test suite
985 PHP tests and 163 JavaScript tests passed. Another 443 PHP tests and 3 JavaScript tests were skipped. These results do not validate every supported integration.
Coding standards, precisely
Persian Kit’s configured PHPCS checks passed: selected WordPress security, database, translation and API rules. Its formatting uses PSR-12. This is not full WordPress coding-style compliance or a security audit.
Plugin Check results and their limits
The same Plugin Check 2.1.0 static scan reported 0 errors / 8 warnings for Persian Kit, 157 errors / 215 warnings for Persian WooCommerce.
These counts are messages from an automated tool. They have not been individually reviewed and do not show which plugin is more secure. Persian Kit’s eight warnings concern integration hook names. Runtime checks and a manual security review were not performed.
