All the issue was explained on this thread - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/camel-case-hashtags-are-automatically-converted-to-lowercase-2/#post-16453953
As the title suggests, user uses camel case for hashtags like #ThisIsMyExample
But when this plugin publishes a post, the hashtag is converted to #thisismyexample
I would like it to simply not do that because it reduces accessibility. Screen readers and sometimes people cannot read a hashtag when it’s all lowercase.
In this particular case, ACF checkboxes are in use so that it's not needed have to always remember the common hashtags in use. In a post, it looks like this.
This is the checkbox field in ACF (screenshot 1) I created and its field names is hashtags
And for the blog article, this is the ACF settings (screenshot 2) of one that was automatically “revived” by your plugin.
So for this article, I’m expecting the hashtags to be: #Neurodiversity #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #KarateMama with the capital letters remaining capital.
User also shared a solution already so it's just a small change in the code (I see no reason to keep it lowercase so we should make the change):
All I did was remove the strtolower() call from line 444 of the class-rop-post-format-helper.php and I could see my hashtags in camel case as expected in the sharing queue. If you could make that update in your plugin, that’d be super.
Line 444 current:
$hashtags = $hashtags . ' #' . preg_replace( '/-/', '', strtolower( $hashtag ) );
My edit to line 444:
$hashtags = $hashtags . ' #' . preg_replace( '/-/', '', $hashtag );

There are all the steps described here - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/camel-case-hashtags-are-automatically-converted-to-lowercase-2/#post-16453953
But it's pretty complicated to replicate this as it depends on the theme in use.
