Optin Cat button in post editor – thanks for the suggestion. I’ll keep this in mind for a future update, but I want to see if other people complain about it first.
That is… fair enough, but think of it from a multi-author perspective: many sites have authors that log in to solely create posts, and have no need to insert opt-in forms. For these sites, it is the admin’s/webmaster’s job to maintain the design and layout, so it makes no sense for use levels like ‘author’ and ‘contributor’ to have access to this feature. It’s like putting a post editor button for a cache plugin, or a custom post type creation button or something like that. These are plugins that non-admins really just have no business or need having access to, and why literally 95% of plugins I’ve used do not add a button to this screen. If you do want to add something, I would ask that you do one of two things to be courteous to plugin users:
1. Make the addition a metabox so we can turn it off for certain user levels more easily (many plugins can easily target metaboxes, but I haven’t come across one that targets buttons)
2. Make an on/off toggle in the settings page for individual user levels, set by the admin. (Please remember to include capabilities for custom post types).
The basic theme of these two points is just to make it easy for admins like me to manage this button in a multi-author sites.
Thank you, and I hope to see something that makes managing this new addition easier.
