Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/norbusan/p2p-shortcode-resolver/archive/refs/heads/master.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
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

p2p-shortcodedirectory intowp-content/plugins/. - Activate P2P Shortcode Resolver in the WordPress admin under Plugins.
