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.

J’adore cette fonctionnalité de WP, pourquoi s’en passer si on partage des liens sur son site!?!?

Works totally great. It takes some configuration to get it working but it works flawlessly.

If you don’t have the scriptlet bookmarked already this plugin is WORTHLESS because there is literally NO PLACE to get the code for the bookmark ANYWHERE.
