Notes
In the example below, we won’t publicize any post using the private tag:
/**
* Do not trigger Publicize if the post uses the `private` tag.
*/
function jeherve_control_publicize( $should_publicize, $post ) {
// Return early if we don't have a post yet (it hasn't been saved as a draft)
if ( ! $post ) {
return $should_publicize;
}
// Get list of tags for our post.
$tags = wp_get_post_tags( $post->ID );
// Loop though all tags, and return false if the tag's name is `private`
foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {
if ( 'private' == $tag->name ) {
return false;
}
}
return $should_publicize;
}
add_filter( 'publicize_should_publicize_published_post', 'jeherve_control_publicize', 10, 2 );
how to do it for categories just change tag to cat?
You will need to adapt the code a bit more. You can read more about this here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-a-certain-category-from-sharing-in-publicize/
Thanks but excluding categories or tags from publicize should be a feature to prevent spammy behaviour. Is there anyway I could make this a feature request?
This feature is already available via the filter above, but we most likely won’t be adding a setting in the interface for that option, as it’s not something most Jetpack users would be interesting.
You can develop your own interface with that filter, though!
