PressThis Feature: Choose Which Post

    Is it possible to enable PressThis to select a current post from the current draft posts and add content to the existing post?

    This would be really nice for creating list posts, adding links and likely other things I haven’t thought of myself. Instead of creating a fresh post each time you could add content to an existing post (not yet published).

    I’m thinking about a dropdown list which could popup along with the post window. It seems possible when categories and tags work via PressThis.

  • This is not currently possible, because the Press This bookmarklet is a tool specifically for creating posts from third-party content in the browser.

    I understand the use case you’re describing — wanting to do links/excerpts from multiple sites in a post vs just creating a post from one piece of content — but that’s outside the scope of the current feature. Sorry!

    The team that maintains this feature has a channel on our contributor slack instance. If you wanted to ask about what they are planning for the feature, the channel is at https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/core-pressthis/.
