‘Post Types / Singles’ Carry Over Settings?

  • ?? Hello, the Freesouls Plugin is fantastic – it’s an amazing operational tool and such a great implementation of your concept! Well done and thank you for making this available to the WordPress community.

    My Question (& Request):
    Is it possible for a future release to enable carrying over settings from ‘(Global) Post Types / Singles (Overrides)’ on the ‘Add New Post‘ & ‘Edit Post’ Backend Pages?

    This request comes from a ‘Workflow-Optimization’ perspective.

    Illustrative Point:
    When a user has navigated to the ‘Edit Post’ backend page for a specific post and chooses to optimize the plugins by switching from ‘Post Types’ to ‘ Singles’ – the default behavior for Freesouls is to return all Plugins to their Activated status.

    Current Workflow (Can Be Taxing on User):

    • Switch from ‘Post Types’ to ‘Singles’; all settings reset.
    • User must recall Active / Inactive settings from ‘Post Types’.
    • Re-enter the Active / Inactive settings for ‘Singles’ Mode.
    • Modify Active / Inactive settings for this specific page.

    Workflow Request / Suggestion:

    • Switch from ‘Post Types’ to ‘Singles’; settings carry over.
    • User modifies Active / Inactive settings. Easy-Fast-Done.

    HI @xizor,

    thank you very much for your nice words and suggestions.

    You can decide if the new post should have the same plugins set in Post Types by activating the star that you see in the following picture:

    If the star symbol in Post Types is full, when you create a new post, it will have the same plugins that you set in the Post Types settings.

    In Freesoul Deactivate Plugins => Singles you have an action button to copy the Post Types settings to the single row, but this is a PRO feature.
    In the free version, you don’t have that button.
    I’m speaking about button 12 that you see in the table of this page: https://freesoul-deactivate-plugins.com/how-deactivate-plugiins-on-specific-pages/action-buttons/

    In the Edit Post page the same button is still missing but the PRO version will have it soon.

    With the free version, you could still do it a little faster if you copy/paste the Post Types settings. I suggest you use buttons 10 and 11 of the same table on the page https://freesoul-deactivate-plugins.com/how-deactivate-plugiins-on-specific-pages/action-buttons/.
    You can use the copy button (10) on the Post Types page and the paste button (11) to paste the same settings to SIngles.

    About having the FDP section on the New Post editing screen I think it’s a very good idea but not for everybody. There are users who may consider it intrusive.
    However, I also think it can be useful. Maybe we can give the possibility to decide in Users => Profile => FDP Preferences

    Have a great day!

    Jose

    Can confirm:

    • Freesoul > Post Types > (Desired) Row > Star > Does achieve the same result as the workflow I originally expressed a desire for, thank you.
