Body: <p>I was hoping to find an extension that would correct the capitalization of first last names - for example, if someone entered a name in all lowercase or all uppercase, it would change the first letter of the name to uppercase.</p>
  
  <p>It looks like the Capitalisation Corrector does just this. <a href="https://civicrm.org/extensions/capitalisation-corrector" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://civicrm.org/extensions/capitalisation-corrector</a>. But I can't find it as a scheduled job, or in the extension directory. I tried using the Normalise the Data extension but that does not work for my purposes.</p>
  
  <p>I am currently using CiviCRM 5.18.2 with WordPress. Does the Capitalisation Corrector work with WordPress? Is there another way I can install it?</p>

  The [Capitalisation Corrector](https://civicrm.org/extensions/capitalisation-corrector) is not available for download via the `Administer > System Settings > Extensions` interface so you need to get the extension files on to the system some other way.
  
  There are multiple ways to do this depending on the access you have, but you need to get the files from the [latest release](https://github.com/futurefirst/capscorrect/archive/1.1.zip) (see Download link on the extension page) extracted into your extensions directory. If you don't know where your extensions directory is, check `Administer > System Settings > Directories`
  
  Once you have done that, go to the Extensions page again, click Refresh and you should see the extension available for installation. Click Install.
  
  When it has finished installing you will then find the scheduled job labelled "Call Contacts.CorrectNameCasesJob API (Daily)"
