Overview
This plugin adds two shortcodes that allow you to display either the content of a post or a list of posts within the content area of a post. This plugin should be fully compatible with all post types, as it simply uses the get_post() and get_posts() WordPress functions.
Post Content
The first shortcode is the [post-content] shortcode. Using that shortcode will allow you to display the content of one post within another post. This shortcode requires a single attribute with a key of “id”. To use this shortcode to display the content of a post or page with an ID of 25, you would use this shortcode like [post-content id=25]. This shortcode also accepts the following optional arguments:

Disappointing on Multi-Blog to Blog use
·7 years ago
For Importing Content within a single blog : GREAT Plugin
But for Multi-Blog to Blog use :
First : images cannot be imported (except featured image … which is not of much interest). Content without imageS ?
Second : I couldn’t edit the exported content, even after editing the original article. Even after deleting the article, the original version was still displayed in the destination blog. Some kind of cache effect ? Weird.
Maybe I did something wrong …

Flawless (with Minor 1.0 Glitches)!
by username0077·8 years ago
Magnificent! Awesome!! Stupendous!!! Developer should be Very Proud (Extremely). Significantly Helping to pull my multisite mess together-ish, right now as you read this. Not a “fake” review, see the live results at [link removed – please do not use reviews to promote your site.] (in a week or so of this plugins specific help…).
I experienced some “fragility” with the excerpt_length on my mess of a WP implementation. Had to laboriously & incrementally try-and-error different excerpt lengths + network disable-reactivate the plugin each test cycle – per usage – to “reset” things, but Hey, that’s half the fun of WordPress! Simply Don’t use excerpt_length at all if you don’t specifically need it…
Great work for 1.0! May Never-Ending Good Fortune Deservedly Rain like Waterdrops Upon Thee & Thy Kingdom Forever-more and Two Days! Will send some cash when I see it. This is from a Guy that NEVER writes reviews at all. Had to reset my WP password, after finding my username…
Please Don’t Ever, Ever, Ever Stop working on this 5-STAR project. If you do, all my website templates will instantly shatter & die & take out a few innocent little baby kittens too… 🙁
