What It Does

The RPS Include Content plugin is useful when you need to include the same content across many posts or pages. For example, you may want to place your company boilerplate at the bottom of press releases in your News section. Instead of pasting the boilerplate copy at the end of each of these pages, you can now insert the shortcode (along with the post ID, and for multisite configurations, the blog ID) where that content should appear.

When you modify your source copy, changes will appear on all pages that contain the shortcode. There is no need to open and modify multiple pages.

When a user previews the post from the WordPress Administration, the included content is distinguished with an on-hover highlight. A link is provided so that the source content can be conveniently accessed and modified. The preview of the include will not distort the target page; the width, height and position will remain as defined by the site.

To easily obtain the blog ID and post ID, install the free RPS Blog Info plugin, which places that information on your WordPress Toolbar.

Features include the ability to include featured images, display specific shortcodes, respect the more tag, set content length by word count, and more. The plugin is compatible with single and multisite installs and supports password protected posts.

FAQ

The basic syntax of the shortcode is:

[rps-include blog="#" post="#"]

You do not need to specify the blog ID if you are not in a multisite environment.

title – Use a boolean (true/false) to specify whether to display the title of the source content on the target post/pages. The default is false.
titletag – Use h1 through h6 to define the tag to wrap around the title. The default is h2.
titlelink – Specify whether the titletag should be a link to the included post. The default is false.
content – Specify whether to use the included post’s content, excerpt, lede, full or none. The default is content. Note that if you set the content to none then the title attribute is automatically set to true, since something of the included content should be shown. Using the full option ignores the more tag of the included content.
length – Define the length in words of the text that appears before the more link. The default is 55. This setting has no effect if a more tag is present in the included content or if the content attribute is not set to lede.
filter – Force the included content to be formatted. The default is false.
shortcodes – Specify whether shortcodes should be allowed to remain in included posts. The default is true.
allow_shortcodes – Specify which shortcodes should be allowed to remain in included posts. Overrides the shortcodes attribute. (ie. gallery and caption)
embeds – Specify whether embeds should be displayed in included posts. The default is false.
more_text – Specify the string to be presented as the “more text”. The default is Read more ….
length – Specify that only a specific number of words should be used before the more link is displayed. Requires that the content attribute be set to lede. The default is 55.
hover – Define whether to show the hover interface on the included content. The default is true. You can set the default behavior on the Settings page.
private – Determines if included content with a status of private should be displayed regardless of current user capabilities. The default is false. You can set the default behavior on the Settings page.
featured_image – Determines if the featured image associated with the included content is displayed. The default is false.
featured_image_size – Specifies the size of the image to retrieve by name. The default is post-thumbnail.
featured_image_wrap – Determines if the featured image is wrapped with a div. The default is false.
featured_image_wrap_class – Specifies the class associated with the featured image wrap. The default is post-thumbnail.

Add the “shortcode” attribute and set it to “false”. Keep in mind that using this method will remove all shortcodes from the included content, including any rps-include shortcodes that are designed to call included content that is nested inside other included content. However, this should not affect most users.

[rps-include post="500" shortcodes="false"]

You may consider using the “allow_shortcodes” attribute instead to specify which shortcodes should be displayed when the content is included elsewhere. This overrides the “shortcode” attribute setting so there is no need to provide it. Be sure to pass the shortcodes as a comma delimited string as in the example below.

[rps-include post="500" allow_shortcodes="gallery,caption"]

As long as the URL is on the WordPress embed whitelist you can make it display within the included content by adding the embeds attribute and setting it to true.

[rps-include post="500" embeds="true"]

You should use the rps_include_content_html filter by adding the following to your theme’s functions file:

function rps_include_content_wrap( $html ) {     $html = '<div class="rps_include_content_wrap">' . $html . '</div>';     return $html; } add_filter( 'rps_include_content_html', 'rps_include_content_wrap' );

Adjust the code as necessary to get the desired markup around the included content.
