About this Package

This package is loosely based on the code from k0nG's package "Create WordPress Post / Page" but offering many new options. Additional help from hsatterwhite on testing and feature suggestions.

If you used to use the Create WordPress Post / Page package then just install this package and change your corresponding Pods to use the 'save_post' helper in the Pre-save Helper option.

Features:

- Runs on Pre-save (to save the ID of the post along with the other pod data)
- Saves ID of created Post (or other post_type) in the current Pod item
- Define the default post_type (default 'post')
- Define the default column to be used for post_title (default 'name')
- Define the default column to be used for storing the post ID (can be TXT or PICK coltype) (default 'wp_post_id')
- Define the default date column to be used for post_date (default false - use now)
- Define the default categories to be used for post_category (can be comma-separated 1,4,3 or array) (default false - no categories)
- Define the default column to be used for post_category (can be TXT, NUM or PICK coltype) (default false - no categories)
- Define the default column to be used for post_content (default false - no content)
- Define the default post_parent (default false - no parent)
- Define the default column to be used for post_parent (default false - no parent)
- Define the default post_status (default 'publish')
- Define the default comment_status (defaults to WP option 'default_comment_status')
- Define the default ping_status (defaults to WP option 'default_ping_status')
