An example of a recipe that I have is to create a new WordPress post on my blog whenever I favorite a YouTube video. Unfortunately IFTTT doesn’t have a way to specify a post format or a custom post type, so this plugin provides a couple ways to update them. To set the post format, you need to set the category in IFTTT to one of the following categories: * `ifttt-aside` * `ifttt-gallery` * `ifttt-link` * `ifttt-image` * `ifttt-quote` * `ifttt-status` * `ifttt-video` * `ifttt-audio` * `ifttt-chat` So for my YouTube -> WordPress recipe, I have it adding the ‚ifttt-video‘ category in IFTTT (IFTTT allows you to specify the category for the posts it creates), and voilà, when it’s published, the format has been set. If you want to instead set the new post to a custom post type, you can do so by setting the category in IFTTT to one that matches this pattern: **`ifttt-posttype-{ post_type_slug}`**. So if you wanted to create new WordPress pages with IFTTT, you would add the **`ifttt-posttype-page`** category. And finally, if you want the IFTTT categories to be stored as a _different_ taxonomy, you can do so by setting the category in IFTTT to one that matches this pattern:**` ifttt-taxonomy-{taxonomy_slug}`**. **Note:** These speciall `ifttt-*` categories will not actually be set on the post/ page/object. These are ’special‘ categories which simply serve as flags for which post format, post-type or taxonomy to send the data to, and they are removed from the list of categories which are actually stored to the post. Hope you find this useful! Feel free to [contribute to or fork this plugin on github](https://github.com/jtsternberg/IFTTT-Post-Formats). ## Installation 1. Upload the `ifttt-post-formats` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress. ## FAQ How do I set the post type with this plugin? * This was added in version [0.1.1](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ifttt-post-formats/changelog/). To set the new post to a custom post type, you can do so by setting the category in IFTTT to one that matches this pattern: **`ifttt-posttype-{post_type_slug}`**. So if you wanted to create new WordPress pages with IFTTT, you would add the **` ifttt-posttype-page`** category. How can I change the taxonomy for the IFTTT categories? * As of [0.1.3](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ifttt-post-formats/changelog/) You can do so by specifying a `ifttt-taxonomy-{taxonomy_slug}` category in the IFTTT category field. Will only work if the `taxonomy_slug` is a valid registered taxonomy. You can also hook into the `ifttt_pfpt_taxonomy_to_save_as` filter like so: function ifttt_pfpt_save_as_custom_taxonomy( $taxonomy ) { $taxonomy = ‚custom- taxonomy-slug‘; return $taxonomy; } add_filter( ‚ifttt_pfpt_taxonomy_to_save_as‘,‚ ifttt_pfpt_save_as_custom_taxonomy‘ ); I don’t like the `ifttt-*` categories hanging around. * You can delete them by adding the following snippet to your theme’s functions. php file or as an mu-plugin: * `php add_filter( 'ifttt_pfpt_delete_ifttt_cats', '__return_true' ); ?? * If you run into a problem or have a question, contact me ([contact form](http://j.ustin.co/scbo43) or [@jtsternberg on twitter](http://j.ustin.co/wUfBD3)). I’ll add them here. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “IFTTT Post Formats & Post Types” is open source software.
