Excellent question!

There is no support for time variables at the moment. However the FAQ has details on how you can add this feature yourself:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/default-text/faq/

I’ll make sure to include this feature in the next update.

UPDATE
Added this as issue to the GitHub repo:
https://github.com/makeaweli/wordpress-default-text/issues/1

This plugin only works on the post edit screen.

Here’s my roadmap for this simple plugin:

2.0 – Multi-user support. Each user can have their own default text via their user profile, just like my Default Category plugin.

3.0 – Custom post types support. I’m still trying to figure out how the UI would work with multi-user support.

Question for you: are there any variables you’d like seen added?

BTW, don’t forget to rate the plugin and thanks for the kind words!

This plug-in is an offshoot of a much larger custom plugin that auto-assigns categories based on the users’ location in the world.

Although I can’t share the original plugin due to proprietary data, I thought it might be useful to other people to use just the basic functionality.

I do have a blog, but wasn’t planning on writing about this plugin. Instead, I’m writing a post about my Default Text plugin which I assumed would be a lot more popular and useful!

Thanks for the vote! How are you using this in your workflow?

I was totally incorrect in my last post as the callback functions are also used outside of the filters.

I have modified the callbacks to use a default argument and have updated the plugin.

I’m not really sure why this error is being thrown because the argument should be automatically supplied by wordpress.

Both functions are simply callbacks for the following filters:

add_filter('default_title', 'default_text_title');
add_filter('the_editor_content', 'default_text_body');
