oik-clone v2.0.0-beta-20200616 – cloning new content made easier

Today, after many months of procrastination, I’ve implemented a small change to my oik-clone plugin that should significantly improve my publishing process. oik-clone now has the ability to automatically re-clone content with newly added (uncloned) featured images.

The primary purpose is to ensure that the target system has the correct ID for the featured image.

Original process New process
Create the content. Same
Upload and attach the featured image. Same
View the content. Same
In the output of the [clone] shortcode select the post and the child attachment to clone. Click on clone Same.
Edit the content – check the SEO meta description, correct a typo or something, update the taxonomies then update. No need to edit. You’re done.
View the content again.
Clone the content again.
Original process vs New process for cloning new content

See bobbingwide/oik-clone#50.

Clone/cloned output before cloning

Post without a featured image. Note: post ID 50 was extracted from the github shortcode. It’s a red herring I’ve learnt to live with.

Which means you shoudn’t see a load of strange

tags. [Read more…]

Google Maps once again requiring an API key

I’ve been porting a site from Drupal to WordPress recently but it wasn’t until I loaded it onto hosting with 1&1 that I noticed some problems with my [bw_show_googlemap] shortcode. I’ve fixed the problem in oik v3.0.2. The new solution requires you to obtain a Google Maps API key, and enter it in oik options. [Read more…]
