O2go2 is a go to plugin for use primarily with WordPress sites themed using the Oxygen Builder plugin. I put it together for my wife Liz who requested the features in the plugin. I offer it here in case it helps you. O2go2 provides a number of shortcodes to inject content in to Oxygen templates.
Features
- includes various shortcodes for displaying postmeta data such as post dates, authors, categories, etc that can be include din Oxygen reusable parts
- includes other miscellaneous features to make an Oxygen site builder's life easier
Shortcodes
The following shortcodes are included in the plugin :
o2author
Returns the author of the current post or page.
Parameters
- author
Set author to the id of the author whose name you want to return, instead of the actual author of the post. Omit this parameter if you want the author of the current post's name to appear. - link
Set link to "true" if you want the author name to also be linked to the author page. Omit this parameter if you want the author name to appear unlinked, in plain text.
Examples
o2avatar
Returns the avatar of the author of the current post or page.
Parameters
- author
Set author to the id of the author whose name you want to return, instead of the actual author of the post. Omit this parameter if you want the author of the post's name to appear. - image

Returns the category of the current post.

Set link to "on" if you want the category name to also be linked to the category archive page. Omit this parameter if you want the category name to appear unlinked in plain text. - post
Set post to the post id if you are using the shortcode outside of the loop (and hence the post_id needs to be provided as the current post is not provided by WordPress).

This is the text placed before the year range. It defaults to the copyright symbol, ©, if you leave this parameter out - start

Miscellaneous Features
Editor Width
By default, Gutenberg operates with a rather wee editor window. While we like wee plugins, we do not like wee editors. Use this feature to make use of whatever space is available on your screen, for the Gutenberg editor.
Amazon Disclaimer Insertion
If you're using Amazon affiliate links, then this feature will place the Amazon disclaimer in an aside on any page that contains an Amazon link. It places the link at the foot of the page to avoid any negative SEO impact of placing this non keyword related text at the start of the page content. Javascript is used to move the text to a more prominent position to make the text more visible the visitor and ensure compliance with Amazon terms.
404 Redirection
You can set up all 404s to a dedicated 404 page. You can also set the HTTP status to be something other than a 404 if this temporarily suits your needs (e.g. just after major site moves or reorganizations).
Numeric URI Redirects
Liz prefers to use post_id/postname permalink structure for posts. This has certain advantages - it means you can change the slug for on-page SEO purposes whenever you want to, without having to set up redirects between the old slug and the new slug.
You can also refer to posts and pages with a short URL that specifies the postid only. This can be very convenient. The plugin allows for the automatic redirection of the short version of the URL to the long version.
