Stealth Update

Description

This plugin allows you to choose to update a post without having WordPress automatically update the post’s post_modified timestamp.

WordPress maintains a post field called post_modified which tracks the date the post was last edited. This value is used by feeds to indicate the latest update to each post or to report the latest updated post. Plugins and themes may also reference the post modification date to call attention to posts that have been updated. However, if an update is such that you don’t want it to be recorded in the post_modified date field (perhaps due to the update being a small formatting/editing change or fixing a typo, or if you just want to keep quiet about an update), then this plugin is for you.

This plugin adds a « Stealth update? » checkbox to the « Publish » box of any post’s or page’s « Edit Post » admin page.

Note: The plugin records when a post is stealth updated, so subsequent edits of the post will have the « Stealth update? » checkbox checked by default.

Filters

The plugin is further customizable via two filters. Typically, these customizations would be put into your active theme’s functions.php file, or used by another plugin.

c2c_stealth_update_meta_key (filter)

The ‘c2c_stealth_update_meta_key’ filter allows you to override the name of the custom field key used by the plugin to store a post’s stealth update status. This isn’t a common need.

Arguments:

  • $custom_field_key (string): The custom field key to be used by the plugin. By default this is ‘_stealth-update’.

Example:

/**
 * Defines a custom meta key to be used by Stealth Update.
 *
 * @param string $custom_field_key The default custom field key name.
 * @return string
 */
function override_stealth_update_key( $custom_field_key ) {
    return '_my_custom_stealth-update';
}
add_filter( 'c2c_stealth_update_meta_key', 'override_stealth_update_key' );

c2c_stealth_update_default (filter)

The ‘c2c_stealth_update_default’ filter allows you to override the default state of the ‘Stealth Update?’ checkbox.

Arguments:

  • $state (boolean): The default state of the checkbox. By default this is false.
  • $post (WP_Post): The post currently being created/edited.

Example:

// Have the Stealth Update? checkbox checked by default.
add_filter( 'c2c_stealth_update_default', '__return_true' );

Installation

  1. Whether installing or updating, whether this plugin or any other, it is always advisable to back-up your data before starting
  2. Unzip stealth-update.zip inside the /wp-content/plugins/ directory (or install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer)
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress
  4. Click the ‘Stealth update?’ checkbox when updating a post to prevent the date of the update from being saved for the post.

FAQ

Why would I want to stealth update a post?

This update dates for posts are used by feeds to indicate the latest update to each post or to report the latest updated post. Plugins and other manual uses of some of WordPress’s template tags may also reference the post modification date to call attention to posts that have been updated. However, if an update is such that you don’t want it to be recorded in the post_modified date field (perhaps due to the update being a small formatting/editing change or fix, or if you just want to keep quiet about an update), then this plugin is for you.

Can I have the checkbox checked by default?

Yes. See the Filters section (under Other Notes) and look for the example using the ‘c2c_stealth_update_default’ filter. You’ll have to put that code into your active theme’s functions.php file. Note that if a post was updated with the checkbox checked, when that post gets edited again the checkbox will be checked by default.

Does this plugin include unit tests?

Yes.

This plugin still works well. If you want to control modified date, it is very helpful.
