insert

WP plugin to insert posts, hooks, or templates

Usage

Use the [insert] shortcode inside posts or anywhere else that processes shortcodes.

[insert] shortcode attributes

• query - sets up a new WP_Query via get_posts()
• data - data to pass to actions
• action - action to run, runs for each post if applicable
• filter - filter to run, runs for each post if applicable
• template - template to load via locate_template()

All attributes are optional and can be used in combination to yield powerful abilities.

Abilities

Possibilities with [insert] are endless. Practical uses include:

• Insert posts into posts
• Insert hooks into posts
• Insert posts into widgets
• Run action hooks via widgets
• Load templates via widgets

Examples

Insert a template

[insert template="branding.php"]

Insert an action

[insert action="dostuff"]

Pass data to an action

[insert data="field=slug&value=example&tax=category" action="dostuff"]

The action receives data as an array.

add_action('dostuff', 'print_r');

Insert a page via template

[insert query="name=about&post_type=page" template="entry.php"]

Insert a page via action

This sets up the query and triggers the action.

[insert query="name=about&post_type=page" action="dostuff"]

WP template tags are available inside the action.

add_action('dostuff', 'the_title');
