## Description

Smart Initial Caps Titles intelligently formats WordPress post titles by converting
them to Initial Caps while preserving important acronyms and numeric terms commonly
used in news, tech, and official content.

modifying database content or harming SEO.

Perfect for:
 * News websites * Blogs with ALL CAPS headlines * Government, politics,
and tech content

### Features

 * Preserves numeric acronyms (5G, 2FA, 50BN, 2027PVC)
 * Converts remaining words to Initial Caps
 * Optional category-based rules (e.g. apply only to Politics)
 * Choose where it applies:
    - Homepage / Blog page
    - Single posts
    - Archives
 * Performance optimized:
    - Skips short titles
    - Uses WordPress object cache
 * SEO-safe (no database changes)
