Autoshare for Twitter

Automatically tweets the post title or custom message and a link to the post.

Note: Posts and pages are supported by default. Developers can use the autoshare_for_twitter_default_post_types filter to change the default supported post types

Custom post types can now be opted into autoshare features like so:

function opt_my_cpt_into_autoshare() {
    add_post_type_support( 'my-cpt', 'autoshare-for-twitter' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'opt_my_cpt_into_autoshare' );

In addition, adding support while registering custom post types also works. Post types are automatically set to autoshare. Future versions of this plugin could allow this to be set manually.

While the autoshare feature can be opted into for post types using the above filter, by default the editor still has to manually enable autoshare during the post prepublish flow. The autoshare_for_twitter_enabled_default filter allows autoshare to be enabled by default for all posts of a given post type. Editors can still manually uncheck the option during the publishing flow.

Example:

function enable_autoshare_by_default_for_core_post_type( $enabled, $post_type ) {
    if ( 'post' === $post_type ) {
        return true;
    }

    return $enabled;
}
add_filter( 'autoshare_for_twitter_enabled_default', 'enable_autoshare_by_default_for_core_post_type', 10, 2 );
