Add specific tags to Mastodon status

[davemreed]

Hi Jan,

I'm using this code in our functions file, based on your examples:

// Post Excerpt with link add_filter( 'share_on_mastodon_status', function( $status, $post ) { $status = wp_strip_all_tags( $post->post_excerpt ); $status .= "\n\n" . get_permalink( $post ); return $status; }, 10, 2 );

It's working exactly as expected. I would like to add two specific tags that will be added with every status post, with a line break after the URL. Like this:

Text

Link

Tags

I can't quite figure this out. Could you point me in the right direction?

You mean like not the post's tags but two "hardcoded" hashtags?

You could probably do the same as before, but slightly modified:

// Post Excerpt with link
add_filter( 'share_on_mastodon_status', function( $status, $post ) {
  $status  = wp_strip_all_tags( $post->post_excerpt );
  $status .= "\n\n" . get_permalink( $post );
  $status .= "\n\n" . '#TagOne #TagTwo';

  return $status;
}, 10, 2 );

Perfect! Exactly what we needed. Thanks for the great plugin!
