Press This Not Working With 4.9 Update

Okay, here’s a workaround.

Step 1: You need your old bookmarklet back. You can create it yourself, copy and paste from here:

javascript:var d=document,w=window,e=w.getSelection,k=d.getSelection,x=d.selection,s=(e?e():(k)?k():(x?x.createRange().text:0)),f='https://www.YOURWEBSITEHERE.com/wp-admin/press-this.php',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,u=f+'?u='+e(l.href)+'&t='+e(d.title)+'&s='+e(s)+'&v=4';a=function(){if(!w.open(u,'t','toolbar=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=720,height=570'))l.href=u;};if (/Firefox/.test(navigator.userAgent)) setTimeout(a, 0); else a();void(0)

Yeah, that’s ugly. Note the YOURWEBSITEHERE part.

Step 2: Go find class-wp-press-this-plugin.php, and comment out lines 1197-1208. That;’s a big if statement

/*if ( empty( $_GET['_wpnonce'] ) || ! wp_verify_nonce( $_GET['_wpnonce'], 'scan-site' ) ) {
			foreach ( array( 'u', 's', 't', 'v', '_meta', '_links', '_images', '_embeds' ) as $key ) {
				if ( ! empty( $_REQUEST[ $key ] ) ) {
					?>
					<div class="error"><p>
						<?php _e( 'The WordPress bookmarklet was deprecated. Please delete it from your web browser.', 'press-this' ); ?>
					</p></div>
			 		<?php
                                         return;
				}
			}
		}*/

Works for me.

Howdy,

Version 1.1.0 will be released in the next day or so that will restore the bookmarklet. The issue that led to the removal is a security issue, but restoring it in either case.
