Stealth Publish

Descripción

This plugin allows you to prevent specified posts from being featured on the front page or in feeds, and from notifying external services of publication. Beneficial in instances where you want to publish new content without any fanfare and just want the post added to archive and category pages and its own permalink page.

A “Stealth publish?” checkbox is added to the “Write Post” admin page. Posts which are saved with that checkbox checked will no longer be featured on the front page of the blog, nor will the post be included in any feeds.

A stealth published post will also not notify any external services about the publication. This includes not sending out pingbacks, trackbacks, and pings to update services such as pingomatic.com. This behavior can be overridden via the ‘c2c_stealth_publish_silent’ filter (see Filters section).

NOTES:

  • Use of other plugins making their own queries against the database to find posts will possibly allow a post to appear on the front page. But use of the standard WordPress functions for retrieving posts (as done for the main posts query and the recent posts widget) should not allow stealth published posts to appear on the home page.

  • If you use this plugin, you do not need to use my Silent Publish plugin as that functionality is incorporated into this plugin. Alternatively, if you like the silent publishing feature but want your new posts to appear on your blog’s front page and in feeds, then just use the “Silent Publish” plugin.

  • The plugin records when a post is stealth published, so subsequent edits of the post will have the “Stealth publish?” checkbox checked by default.

Filters

The plugin is further customizable via three filters. Typically, these customizations would be put into your active theme’s functions.php file, or used by another plugin.

c2c_stealth_publish_meta_key (filter)

The ‘c2c_stealth_publish_meta_key’ filter allows you to override the name of the custom field key used by the plugin to store a post’s stealth publish status. This isn’t a common need.

Arguments:

  • $custom_field_key (string): The custom field key to be used by the plugin. By default this is ‘_stealth-publish’.

Example:

/**
 * Defines a custom meta key to be used by Stealth Publish.
 *
 * @param string $custom_field_key The default custom field key name.
 * @return string
 */
function override_stealth_publish_key( $custom_field_key ) {
    return '_my_custom_stealth-publish';
}
add_filter( 'c2c_stealth_publish_meta_key', 'override_stealth_publish_key' );

c2c_stealth_publish_silent (filter)

The ‘c2c_stealth_publish_silent’ filter allows you to override whether the plugin also ensure the post gets published silently (i.e. without sending out pingbacks, tracbacks, and pings to update services).

Arguments:

  • $publish_silently (bool): Should stealth published posts also be published silently? By default this is ‘true’.
  • $post_id (int): The ID of the post being published.

Example:

/**
 * Disable silent publishing for stealth published posts.
 *
 * @param bool $publish_silently True if the post is to be published silently.
 * @param int  $post_id          The post ID.
 * @return Always false.
 */
function override_stealth_publish_silent( $publish_silently, $post_id ) {
    return false;
}
add_filter( 'c2c_stealth_publish_silent', 'override_stealth_publish_silent' );

c2c_stealth_publish_default (filter)

The ‘c2c_stealth_publish_default’ filter allows you to override the default state of the ‘Stealth Publish?’ checkbox.

Arguments:

  • $state (boolean): The default state of the checkbox. By default this is false.
  • $post (WP_Post): The post currently being created/edited.

Example:

// Have the Stealth Publish? checkbox checked by default.
add_filter( 'c2c_stealth_publish_default', '__return_true' );

Capturas

  • A screenshot of the ‘Publish’ sidebar box on the Add New Post admin page. The ‘Stealth publish?’ checkbox is integrated alongside the existing fields.
  • A screenshot of the ‘Stealth publish?’ checkbox displaying help text when hovering over the checkbox.
  • A screenshot of the ‘Stealth publish?’ checkbox in the quick edit form.
  • A screenshot of the icon adjacent to the post date for a post that has stealth publish enabled.

Instalación

  1. Whether installing or updating, whether this plugin or any other, it is always advisable to back-up your data before starting
  2. Unzip stealth-publish.zip inside the /wp-content/plugins/ directory (or install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer)
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress
  4. For posts that you do not want to be featured on the front page and feeds, check the “Stealth publish?” checkbox when creating/editing a post

Preguntas frecuentes

Why would I want to stealth publish a post?

This is probably the kind of thing that you would recognize the need for or you don’t. It’s beneficial in instances where you want to publish new content without any fanfare and just want the post added to archive and category pages and its own permalink page.

Can I have the checkbox checked by default?

Yes. See the Filters section (under Other Notes) and look for the example using the ‘c2c_stealth_publish_default’ filter. You’ll have to put that code into a site-specific plugin or your active theme’s functions.php file.

Why is the checkbox still present when editing a post that has already been published?

The checkbox is always present since it continues to have an effect on published posts, such as preventing the post from appearing on the front page or in feeds. You may, after publication, decide to not have the post be stealthy. In such a case, you can do so directly by editing the post and unchecking the checkbox; you do not need to change it back to a draft and then republish it.

How does the plugin know which posts are stealth published?

(This is a developer-level question that doesn’t affect general users.) The plugin assigns a custom field of “_stealth-publish” with a value of “1” to indicate posts that are stealth published. Unless, of course, the name of the custom field was changed via use of the ‘c2c_stealth_publish_meta_key’ filter.

Does this plugin include unit tests?

Yes.
