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 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.

Testing shortcode expansion in embedded excerpts
Tools like Slack, Facebook, Twitter and WordPress itself are capable of embedding content from another site just by being given a link. I’ve just updated oik so that it will expand shortcodes during ‘the_excerpt_embed’ filtering. Which means you shoudn’t see a load of strange
tags.

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.
