Friendly bump just in case anyone has any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response and sorry for my slow reply — I just noticed it now. What information do you need? I basically setup my blog to allow for any given post’s permalink to link to an external link (similar to Daring Fireball’s linked list) when the post is intended to be a link to something cool I found rather than my own original work. You can take a look at what I mean by visiting my site guboogi.com (the post titles with the arrow at the end are links that go to external sites).

I set this up by following these steps: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-link-to-external-links-from-the-post-title-in-wordpress/

Basically, I set a custom field value in the post with the external link URL, and the permalink will then link to that instead of the “single” view of my post.

I would love to post using Jetpack’s “Post by Email” feature, but there’s no way for me to set a custom value in the email, so that would require me to login to my WordPress dashboard after each post and set the custom value myself. I was wondering if there was any way to add a shortcode tag to the Post by Email feature so that I could set custom field values directly from the email.

Any help with this please? I would love a way to simply inject the sharing button code wherever I want in the loop. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I didn’t know that forum existed.
