TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners and developers who reuse the same content, such as due dates or video details, across multiple pages or posts. It solves the problem of duplicated content by letting them insert a page, post, or custom post type into other content via a shortcode, so editing the original updates it everywhere it's inserted.

Widget for inserting pages
Works with custom post types

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Insert Pages

A basic template would look like the following. This would be a file on your theme directory, e.g., your-custom-template.php: <?php /** * Template Name: Name of your custom template */ ?> <div id="your-wrapper-div"> <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <div id="your-container-div-for-each-post"> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> </div> You can use whatever template tags that you'd like, check out the WordPress documentation. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-tags/ https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/references/list-of-template-tags/

You can hook into the 'insert_pages_available_post_types' filter to limit the post types displayed in the dialog. Here's an example filter that just shows Posts: /** * Filter the list of post types to show in the insert pages dialog. * * @param $post_types Array of post type names to include in the insert pages list. */ function only_insert_posts( $post_types ) { return array( 'post' ); } add_filter( 'insert_pages_available_post_types', 'only_insert_posts' );

No! You can type out the shortcode yourself if you'd like, it's easy. Here's the format: [insert page='{slug}|{id}' display='title|link|content|all|{custom-template.php}'] Examples: [insert page='your-page-slug' display='link'] [insert page='your-page-slug' display='your-custom-template.php'] [insert page='123' display='all']

Just one! The plugin prevents you from embedding a page in itself, but you can totally create a loop that will prevent a page from rendering. Say on page A you embed page B, but on page B you also embed page A. As the plugin tries to render either page, it will keep going down the rabbit hole until your server runs out of memory. Future versions should have a way to prevent this behavior!
