Hm, I have NO clue what could be happening here. When the plugin installs it doesn't do much, it only registers some shortcodes and filters. There's no extra UI or anything, so I don't think it would have to worry about text directionality.

I'll try it out soon myself. But to be honest, I'm not very hopeful I can be of great help here. You don't see this behavior for any other plugin?

the issue clearly connected to the arabic language
i think the plugin is trying to switch the website to LTR

any updates?

Sorry for the late answer @fareszr . I fear I can't help too much here. I tried with Arabic and could reproduce the issue you're reporting. However, still no idea what could be the cause. I tried a few other plugins but couldn't really see the same behavior there. I tried the RTL tester plugin and there is works great, no matter what the language settings. So, maybe that could be a worst-case workaround for you: activate the RTL tester plugin, permanently set it to RTL and Arabic as language. Not sure if that works.

Like I said, our plugin actually doesn't do much and close to nothing related to UI. It enqueues a few style sheets, but they shouldn't mess up WP styles, the CSS rules are targeted at markdown and jupyter notebooks.

Hope you can make it work somehow and if you do, please either PR or leave a note how you did it.
