Usage

Shortcode

Display the summarize buttons anywhere using:

[summarizewithai]

In Theme Files

Add to your theme files using:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[summarizewithai]'); ?>

Custom Functions to Place the Shortcode Automatically

Usage Instructions:

  1. Copy the desired function(s) to your child theme's functions.php file. Or use code snippets plugin to safely implement the function.
  2. Only activate ONE function at a time to avoid duplicate buttons.
  3. Test on a staging site or local WordPress installation before implementing on production.

Function Priority:

  • All functions use priority 20 to run after most content filters
  • You can adjust priority if needed (higher number = later execution)

Customization Options:

  • Modify the post type conditions to target specific content types
  • Add custom CSS classes around the shortcode output
  • Include conditional logic based on user roles or capabilities
  • Add custom meta field checks to control display per post
