Excluding categories

[davemreed]

Thanks for your work on this plugin. Is it possible to exclude specified categories from posting to Mastodon?

It is (or should be)! If you're familiar with modding WordPress sites through your theme's functions.php or a (mu-)plugin, here's one way of doing so:

add_filter( 'share_on_mastodon_enabled', function( $is_enabled, $post_id ) {
  if ( has_category( 'my-category-slug', $post_id ) ) {
    // Do not share posts in `my-category-slug`.
    return false;
  }

  return $is_enabled;
}, 10, 2 );

As per the example on https://jan.boddez.net/wordpress/share-on-mastodon#share_on_mastodon_enabled

I read that page and totally spaced over that example, thanks!
