Syndication Links is a plugin for WordPress that allow one to easily add rel-syndication/u-syndication links to indicate where syndicated copies are available. It also support publishing, through several built in options(mostly via Bridgy) and can be extended to work with others in future.
One can do also add links manually in the editor and some plugins are integrated and support automatically adding their links as well.
Settings
Settings for the Syndication Links plugin can be found in the main WordPress “Settings” tab in the admin dashboard, or if the Indieweb plugin is installed, under the Indieweb tab. The options provided allow for various ways of presenting the syndication links in posts. Syndication Links by default will add links to the content. You can remove this in your plugin if you wish to call the display function directly.
The settings include the following options as follows with either a set of buttons, a check box (with a check indicating that the feature is “on”) or an optional text field:
- Display Text – Offers options to display text only, icons only, icons and text, and no display(hidden icons).
- Size – Choice of small, medium, or large size icons.
- Black Icons – Checking the box defaults to a “black” social media icon set.
- Show on Front Page, Archive Page, and Search Results – If checked the icons will show on pages other than a single view. If not checked, the icons will be hidden by the links will remain.
- Text Before Links – This is the text that appears before the Display Text/Icons (as indicated above). The default text is “Syndicated to:” but can be modified if desired.
Development
Development for the plugin is hosted on Github.
JetPack is considering storing the metadata to allow users who use JetPack Publicize to import the links.
