## Description

This plugin adds a field to the WordPress editor sidebar which allows you to paste
the URL to a social media post that is associated with the post on your WordPress
site. The URL is then stored in post meta and can be used to e.g. display the relevant
social media post URL in the frontend.

By default, the plugin will append the link to the post content in the frontend.
This can be disabled via filter though in favor of manual output elsewhere.

You can paste any URL into the field, regardless of social media platform. That 
said, the plugin will automatically recognize certain providers and adjust the message
displayed in the frontend accordingly, referencing the specific provider when possible.
The following providers are explicitly supported (in alphabetical order):

 * Bluesky
 * Facebook
 * GitHub
 * Instagram
 * LinkedIn
 * SoundCloud
 * Spotify
 * Threads
 * TikTok
 * Twitter
 * Tumblr
 * WordPress
 * WordPress.com
 * X
 * YouTube

No third-party APIs are called by this plugin and no data is sent to any of these
providers by the plugin.

## Installation

 1. Upload the entire `relevant-social-url` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
    or download it through the WordPress backend.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

### Where can I configure the plugin?

This plugin doesn’t come with a settings screen or options of any kind. As soon 
as you install it, you should see the input field in the sidebar when editing a 
post.

### How can I enable the functionality on other post types?

This is very straightforward using the built-in filter `relsoc_post_types`.

For example, the following snippet would additionally show the input field for pages
and output the social media post link in the frontend on pages too:

    ```
    add_filter(
        'relsoc_post_types',
        function ( $post_types ) {
            $post_types[] = 'page';
            return $post_types;
        }
    );
    ```

### How can I disable frontend output of the social media post link?

Simply use the built-in filter `relsoc_frontend_output_enabled`. For example, to
disable output:

    ```
    add_filter( 'relsoc_frontend_output_enabled', '__return_false' );
    ```

### How can I customize the frontend output of the social media post link?

You can modify the text that is displayed for the link, replacing the default of“
This post also appeared on {social media platform}.”.

You can do so by providing your own text via the built-in `relsoc_frontend_link_text`
filter.
