Auto-Loading Org2Blog Mode

Org2Blog enables you to blog from an Org-Mode document straight into a WordPress post or page. My blog has an individual file for every post or page for example. You can also keep them all in a single file if you like. Everybody uses Org2Blog differently.

Some people like to use org2blog/wp-mode when they are working on their posts. The trouble is that they have got to start the mode manually every time. That is because Org2Blog files are plain old Org-Mode files. So there is no obvious way to automatically enable org2blog/wp-mode. There are a lot of ideas on how to automatically enable it and this is the one that got implemented. Here is how it works:

  • Add org2blog/wp-org-mode-hook-fn to org-mode-hook
  • So that org2blog/wp-mode is automatically enabled when #+ORG2BLOG: is present
  • Add code like this somewhere after you load Org-Mode and org2blog

    (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org2blog/wp-org-mode-hook-fn)
    
  • Add #+ORG2BLOG: to your file
    • When you create a new entry it is automatically created
