Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Syndication Links

You will have to add the following code to your theme add_filter( 'syndication_links_display', '__return_false' ); and then you can call get_syndication_links() directly in your theme. You should add this to the init hook. `get_post_syndication_links( $post, $args ) - Returns the HTML for a post. get_comment_syndication_links( $comment, $args ) - Returns the HTML for a comment. ** $args ***style- Defaults to ul ***text- Display text, defaults to settings option ***icons- Display icons, defaults to settings option ***container-css- Class to wrap entire syndication links in ***single-css- Class to wrap a single link in ***text-css` - Class to wrap the text before the links in

If you add ?original-of= and the URL-encoded URL it will return the post that has that URL stored. As no two posts should have the same two syndication links it will by default only return the first. If you want to do this with a form, there is a function you can add to your theme called get_original_of_form() and a widget that calls this. Like the search form if you have a originalofform.php in your theme folder the function will return it so you can customize the form.

syn_rewrite_secure( $domains ) - $domains is an array of domain names to rewrite to https if found syn_metabox_types( $screens ) - $screens would be an array of post types to add the Syndication Link metabox to. syn_network_strings( $strings ) - $strings is an array of descriptive text strings by domain name syn_add_links( $urls, $post_ID ) - (Deprecated) $urls is an array of retrieved links from $post_ID get_post_syndication_links( $urls, $post_ID) - Replaces syn_add_links. get_comment_syndication_links( $urls, $comment_ID - Filters an array of retrieved comment syndication links. syn_links_display_defaults( $defaults ) - Filter the defaults for displaying Syndication Links syndication_link_checked( $checked, $uid, $post_ID ) - Will check a syndication provider($uid) when loaded. The post ID is passed through to allow more specific targeting. syndication_link_disabled( $disabled, $uid, $post_ID ) - Will disable the checkbox for a syndication provider($uid) when loaded. The post ID is passed through to allow more specific targeting. syn_link_title( $title, $name ) - Allows you to set the title string for Links. Example, pinboard => Pinboard. syn_link_mapping( $icon, $url ) - Allows you to override or set the mapping from URL to icon name. pre_syn_link_icon( $icon, $name ) - Allows you to provide a custom icon. Icons by default are SVG, not URL or filenames. syndication_links_display( true ) - Adds Syndication Links to content display. Set to false if the theme supports this.
