You’re on the right track. When you do something like this in a form.. <input name=”tax_input[formats][]” /> You create levels in the $_POST array.

I would begin with establishing the most friendly approach to this. I think it would be a warning after post Publish/Update button is clicked. It is possible to prevent the Edit Post screen loading if the user re-visits it within 2 minutes after the previous post is published. I don’t think that is practical though … Read more

You can do this easily with jQuery: /* Checks if cat is selected when publish button is clicked */ jQuery( ‘#submitdiv’ ).on( ‘click’, ‘#publish’, function( e ) { var $checked = jQuery( ‘#category-all li input:checked’ ); //Checks if cat is selected if( $checked.length <= 0 ) { alert( “Please Select atleast one category” ); return … Read more
You could use a custom field for a post which is saved via XMLRPC by using the action hook xmlrpc_publish_post. wpse_from_xmlrpc() could than check this custom field. <?php add_action( ‘xmlrpc_publish_post’, ‘add_xmlrpc_postmeta’ ); function add_xmlrpc_postmeta( $post_id ){ update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘send-by-xmlrpc’, 1 ); } function wpse_from_xmlrpc( $post_id ){ $xmlrpc = get_post_meta( $post_id, ‘send-by-xmlrpc’, true ); if( $xmlrpc … Read more
There is an action before the Trash link: post_submitbox_start. You can use it to add content to that box. The Trash has a float:left, so it will move to the side. Example: add_action( ‘post_submitbox_start’, function() { print ‘<button>Hey!</button>’; }); Result:
