Ever accidentally publicize a post that you didn’t mean to?

Note: Publicize is now auto-share and is part of Jetpack Social.

Ever accidentally publicize a post that you didn’t mean to? This snippet will prevent the connections from being auto-selected, so you need to manually select them if you’d like to publicize something.

&lt;br&gt;
add_filter( 'publicize_checkbox_default', '__return_false' );&lt;br&gt;

You can place this code snippet in your theme’s functions.php file, or in a functionality plugin.

WordPress, TV Series, music, kids, and board games. I think that's probably the best way to define me in a few words. 🙂 I work at Automattic where I lead a team building tools for bloggers and creators. I talk a lot about WordPress things, but also about all things open source in general. I live in Brittany, France, so you'll also find me sharing pictures from our beautiful region from time to time.

Will this feature ever come to WordPress.com?

  You currently cannot add any custom PHP code or plugin to a WordPress.com blog, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to add this option to your WordPress.com site.

    Yes, but will we soon be able to have the same function on WordPress.com in the future? 🙂

    No, I’m afraid that’s not in our plans.

Added it to my functions.php file, and the checkbox is off. Thanks!
