It will even allow you to choose from images or videos included on the page and use them in your post. Use Press This as a quick and lightweight way to highlight another page on the web. #### Version 2.0 – Gutenberg Block Editor Press This 2.0 brings the modern WordPress block editor experience to the bookmarklet popup. You can now compose posts using familiar blocks like Paragraph, Heading, Image, Quote, List, and Embed. **New Features:** * **Gutenberg Block Editor** – Full block editor integration for a consistent WordPress editing experience * **Smart Post Format Suggestions** – Automatically suggests Video, Quote, or Link formats based on content * **Enhanced Content Extraction** – Improved scraping with JSON-LD structured data support * **Client-Side Only Scraping** – All content extraction happens in your browser for better privacy and security * **Featured Image Support** – Set any scraped image as your post’s featured image * **Improved Media Grid** – Better thumbnail display with support for video and audio embeds #### Filters for Developers Press This 2.0 includes new filters for customization: * `press_this_allowed_blocks` – Customize which blocks are available in the editor * `press_this_post_format_suggestion` – Modify the auto-suggested post format See the [Developer Documentation](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/press-this/?output_format=md#developer-documentation) section below for details. ### Contributing Bugs and PRs can be submitted via https://github.com/WordPress/press-this . ### Developer Documentation #### New Hooks and Filters in 2.0 **press_this_allowed_blocks** Customize which blocks are available in the Press This editor. ``` add_filter( 'press_this_allowed_blocks', function( $blocks ) { // Add the gallery block $blocks[] = 'core/gallery'; // Remove the embed block $blocks = array_filter( $blocks, function( $block ) { return $block !== 'core/embed'; } ); return $blocks; } ); ``` Default blocks: `core/paragraph`, `core/heading`, `core/image`, `core/quote`, `core/ list`, `core/list-item`, `core/embed` **press_this_post_format_suggestion** Modify or override the auto-suggested post format based on content. ``` add_filter( 'press_this_post_format_suggestion', function( $suggested_format, $data ) { // If the URL contains 'podcast', suggest audio format if ( ! empty( $data['u'] ) && strpos( $data['u'], 'podcast' ) !== false ) { return 'audio'; } return $suggested_format; }, 10, 2 ); ``` The `$data` array contains scraped content including: – `u` – Source URL – `s` – Selected text – `t` – Page title – `_images` – Array of image URLs – `_embeds` – Array of embed URLs – `_meta` – Meta tag data – `_jsonld` – JSON-LD structured data #### Preserved Hooks from 1.x All existing hooks continue to work: * `press_this_redirect_in_parent` – Control post-save redirect behavior * `press_this_save_post` – Filter post data before saving * `press_this_save_redirect` – Filter redirect URL after save * `enable_press_this_media_discovery` – Toggle media scraping * `press_this_data` – Filter the complete scraped data array * `press_this_suggested_html` – Filter default content templates * `shortcut_link` – Customize the bookmarklet URL ### History WordPress, from the earliest days, included some way to bring in snippets from other websites for you to post on your own. The original “Press It” was removed from WordPress 2.5 and a new “Press This” added in 2.6. It existed pretty much unchanged until WordPress 4.2, which completely refreshed Press This. In WordPress 4.9, Press This was spun out to a “canonical plugin” — an official plugin from WordPress.org so sites who wanted to use it could, but streamline more niche functionality out of Core. This was previously done with the Importers. In version 2.0, Press This was modernized to use the Gutenberg block editor, bringing it in line with the modern WordPress editing experience while maintaining backward compatibility with existing installations. ## Screenshots * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1. Install the plugin via your wp-admin dashboard via Plugins->Add New as normal. 2. Visit the Tools page of wp-admin for additional installation steps. ## FAQ ### Is Press This compatible with my existing bookmarklet? Yes! Existing bookmarklets from version 1.x will continue to work. However, we recommend updating your bookmarklet to get the enhanced features of version 2.0. An upgrade prompt will appear when using an older bookmarklet. ### Which blocks are available in Press This? By default, Press This includes: Paragraph, Heading, Image, Quote, List, and Embed blocks. Developers can customize this using the `press_this_allowed_blocks` filter. ### Can I still use the full WordPress editor? Absolutely! Click the “Standard Editor” option in the publish dropdown to save your draft and continue editing in the full WordPress block editor. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6e884a89730c7acd3f5350425b69848477a26de263f028a9a7e4edcb8591362b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Currently partially broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-8082/)󠁿 [silentwisher](https://profiles.wordpress.org/silentwisher/) Octubre 16, 2024 Its currently broken causing many images being generated for the featured image.
