It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/shortcode-directives/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=2224680) # Shortcode Directives By [miunosoft](https://profiles.wordpress.org/miunosoft/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/shortcode-directives.1.0.0.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-directives/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-directives/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-directives/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-directives/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/shortcode-directives/) ## Description #### Quickly manage posts/comments in front-end with command-like-shortcodes Say, you find a comment that should be hidden or deleted on your site. Usually, you click on the Edit link of the comment and manage it back-end. What if you could delete/hide it by commenting on it? This plugin lets you manage posts and comments with command-like-shortcodes. In this case, you reply to the _comment_ you want to hide by typing `[$comment hold]`. #### Bulk actions on certain posts/comments If you want to bulk-delte comments that belong to a certain post, comment on the _post_ by typing `[$comment delete]`. If you have a hierarchical post type and want to add the same tag to all direct children of a certain post plus the post itself, then comment on the post by typing`[ $tag mytag --to="siblings,self"]`. Like this, a bit complex operations can be achived with the shortcode directives. #### Getting Started To experience what this plugin does, follow these steps. 1. After activating the plugin, pick a test post which has been published already. 2. Go to the page of the post in front-end. 3. Submit a comment to the post with the shortcode `[$post_status private]`. Now it should be hidden for normal site visitors. 1. To revert the change, submit a comment to the post with the shortcode `[$post_status publish]`. It should be visible to normal site visitors. By default, the plugin enables the features for the buil-in `post` and `page` post types. If you like to support different post types, go to Dashboard -> Tools -> Shortcode Directives. There, you can pick which post types to have the ability of shortcode directives. For usage details, please see the **Other Notes** seciton. You should have grapsed the idea of how this plugin works by now. Hope you find it useful! #### Supported Languages * English ### Usage #### $post_status Sets a specified post status. **Format** ``` [$post_status {status}] ``` **Examples** Changes the post status to `pending`. ``` [$post_status pending] ``` Changes the post status to `draft`. ``` [$post_status draft] ``` **Option: –to** Specifies which post to apply the directive operation. This `-- to` option is avialble for all the directives except `$comment`. Use `children`,` siblings`, and `descendants` for builk actions. – self (default): the comment/post iteself. When a comment with a directive is submitted to a post, that post will be the subject post and it is considered the one denoted by the option value, `self`.– parent: the parent post of the subject post. – {post ID}: the post ID. – children: the direct child posts of the subjec post if the post type supports the `hierarchical` option. – siblings: the sibling posts of the subject post in hierarchical relationships if the post type supports the `hierarchical` option. – decendants: all the decendants which belong to the subject post if the post type supports the `hierarchical` option. This moves all the descendant posts to trash. ``` [$post_status trash --to=descendants] ``` #### $post_parent Sets a post parent ID. **Format** ``` [$post_parent {post ID}] ``` Sets a post parent of a post ID of 1451. ``` [$post_parent 1451] ``` This removes a post parent. ``` [$post_parent 0] ``` **Option: –to** The same option values are supported described in the `$post_status` section above. #### $post_column Sets a value with a specified post column name to an existent post column. **Format** ``` [$post_column --column={colum name} {value}] [$post_column --column={colum name} --value="some value"] ``` Setting the value `3` to the `menu_order` column. ``` [$post_column column=menu_order 3] ``` When a value must have a white space, use the `--value` option. ``` [$post_column --column=post_title --value="This is a title"] ``` **Option: –to** The same option values are supported described in the `$post_status` section above. #### $post_meta Sets a post meta value. **Format** ``` [$post_meta {key} {value}] [$post_meta {key1}="{some value1}" {key2}="{some value2}" {key3}="{some value3}"...] ``` This sets the post meta value `bar` to the `_foo` meta key. ``` [$post_meta _foo bar] ``` For values containing white-spaces and multiple key-value pairs, use the attribute style format. ``` [$post_meta _question="Why did the chicken cross the road?" _answer="To get to the other side"] ``` To delete meta keys, use the `--action` option by passing `delete`. This deletes the `_question` and `_answer` meta keys and their values from the database. ``` [$post_meta _question _answer --action="delete"] ``` Note: the `--to` and `--action` option names are reserved by the plugin so you cannot specify them with the option name like `[$post_meta --action="my value" --to="another value"]`. If you have to set them, use the command-line style format introduced above. ``` [$post_meta --action "Some value here."] [$post_meta --to "Another value here."] ``` **Option: –to** The same option values are supported described in the `$post_status` section above. #### $taxonomy Sets taxonomy terms with a specified taxonomy slug. **Format** ``` [$taxonomy --slug={taxonomy slug} {term1} {term2} {term3}...] ``` This adds the `Apple`, `Banana`, `Apple Pie` terms of the `post_tag` taxonomy to the post. ``` [$taxonomy --slug=post_tag Apple Banana "Apple Pie"] ``` **Option: –action** – add (default) : adds the specified terms – remove : removes the specified terms – remove_all/remove_all : removes all the associated terms – delete : deletes the specified terms from the database if they are assigned to the post – delete_all/delete-all : deletes all the associated terms from the database This removes the `Apple`, `Banana`, `Apple Pie` terms of the `post_tag` taxonomy from the post. ``` [$taxonomy --slug=post_tag Apple Banana "Apple Pie" --action=remove] ``` This deletes the `Apple`, `Banana`, `Apple Pie` terms of the `post_tag` taxonomy from the database if they are assigned to the post. ``` [$taxonomy --slug=post_tag Apple Banana "Apple Pie" --action=delete] ``` This removes all the assigned terms of the `post_tag` taxonomy from the post. ``` [$taxonomy --slug=post_tag --action=remove_all] ``` This deletes all the assigned terms of the `post_tag` taxonomy from the database. ``` [$taxonomy --slug=post_tag --action=delete_all] ``` **Option: –to** The same option values are supported described in the `$post_status` section above. #### $tag Sets non-hierarchical taxonomy terms. **Format** ``` [$tag {tag1} {tag2} {tag3}...] ``` When the `$tag` directive is given, the plugin searches for a non-hierarchical taxonomy associated with the post type of the post and sets the given terms to the post. If a non-hierarchical taxonomy is not found, no action will be taken. If you have multiple non-hierarchical taxonomies for a particular post type which supports shortcode directives, use the `$taxonomy` directive. See the `$taxonomy` section above. This adds the `Apple`, `Banana`, `Apple Pie` tags to the post. ``` [$tag Apple Banana "Apple Pie"] ``` **Option: –action** The same action values with the `$taxonomy` directive are supported. This removes the `Apple`, `Banana`, `Apple Pie` tags from the post. ``` [$tag --action=remove Apple Banana "Apple Pie"] ``` This deletes the `Apple`, `Banana`, `Apple Pie` terms from the database if they are assigned to the post. ``` [$tag --action=delete Apple Banana "Apple Pie"] ``` This removes all the tags associated with the post. ``` [$tag --action=remove_all] ``` This deletes all the tags associated with the post from the database. ``` [$tag --action=delete_all] ``` **Option: –to** The same option values are supported described in the `$post_status` section above. #### $category Sets hierarchical taxonomy terms. **Format** ``` [$category {category1} {category2} {category3}...] ``` When the `$category` directive is given, the plugin searches for a hierarchical taxonomy associated with the post type of the post and sets the given terms to the post. If a hierarchical taxonomy is not found, no action will be taken. If you have multiple hierarchical taxonomies for a particular post type which supports shortcode directives, use the `$taxonomy` directive. See the `$taxonomy` section above. This adds the `Apple`, `Banana`, `Apple Pie` categories to the post. ``` [$category Apple Banana "Apple Pie"] ``` This removes the `Apple`, `Banana`, `Apple Pie` categories from the post. ``` [$category Apple Banana "Apple Pie" --action=remove] ``` This deletes the `Apple`, `Banana`, `Apple Pie` categories from the database if they are assigned to the post. ``` [$category --action=delete Apple Banana "Apple Pie"] ``` This removes all the categories associated with the post. ``` [$category --action=remove_all] ``` This deletes all the categories associated with the post from the database. ``` [$category --action=delete_all] ``` **Option: –action** The same action values with the `$taxonomy` directive are supported. **Option: –to** The same option values are supported described in the `$post_status` section above. $comment Performs certain actions againt a replying comment. If commented on a post, the action applied to _all_ the comments which belong to the post. So be careful not to do that when you want to do someting on a single comment. **Format** ``` [$comment {sub-command}] ``` **Sub-commands** – delete|remove: deletes the comment – hold|disapprove: changes the comment status to `hold`. – trash: moves the comment to trash – spam: mark the commet as spam – convert: converts the comment to a child post. Replying to an existent comment with the following deletes the comment. ``` [$comment delete] ``` For hierarchical post types, the `convert` sub-command can help bulk-convert comments in to posts. Commenting on a _post_ (not an existent comment) converts all the comments belonging to the post into posts by keeping the hirarchical relationships. ``` [$comment convert] ``` ## Screenshots * [[ * **Some Image** * [[ * **Another Image** ## Installation 1.
