Readme github.com/norbusan/p2p-shortcode-resolver ↗

A WordPress plugin that resolves legacy [p2p type="slug" value="post-slug"]link text[/p2p] shortcodes left behind by the old Posts 2 Posts plugin.

  • Requires: WordPress 5.0+
  • Tested up to: 7.0
  • License: GPLv2 or later
  • Stable tag: 1.0.0

Description

If your blog still contains shortcodes like:

[p2p type="slug" value="joshua-tree-climbing"]ジョシュアツリー[/p2p]

this plugin will render them as internal links to the referenced post (looked up by slug), using the inner text as the anchor. No database changes are made — the shortcodes stay in your content untouched.

Supported attributes

Attribute Description
type="slug" (default) Looks up a post by its post_name (slug). Aliases: post_name, name.
type="id" Looks up a post by numeric ID.
value="..." The slug or ID to resolve.

Behavior

  • If the post cannot be found, the inner text is rendered as plain text so the page never breaks.
  • If the shortcode has no inner text, the target post's title is used as the link label.
  • Lookups are cached for an hour via wp_cache_*.

Installation

  1. Copy the p2p-shortcode directory into wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate P2P Shortcode Resolver in the WordPress admin under Plugins.
  3. Legacy [p2p] shortcodes in your content will now resolve to links automatically.
