Display the summarize buttons anywhere using:
[summarizewithai]
Add to your theme files using:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[summarizewithai]'); ?>
Usage Instructions:
- Copy the desired function(s) to your child theme's
functions.php
file. Or use code snippets plugin to safely implement the function. - Only activate ONE function at a time to avoid duplicate buttons.
- 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
