Feature Request: Add a css class to posts

Hi there, great plugin you have here. I was wondering if I could ask a favour and request a feature. At the moment there’s no way of telling the difference if a post came via Postie or the normal post editor. Would you be able to add a “postie” class so we can apply styling to Postie posts specifically… Thanks heaps.

Pete

This would be rather specific to your site and is fairly easy to do via a filter. See http://postieplugin.com/extending/
```
add_filter('postie_post_before', 'my_postie_post_before');

function my_postie_post_before($post) {
    $post['post_content'] = '<div class="postie">' . $post['post_content'] . '</div>';
    return $post;
}
```

Thanks for your reply but I’d prefer a CSS class inserted/added into, for example, the “body_class”, rather than having an inline div applied. I’d that possible?

Postie doesn’t generate the body element, that is the responsibility of the theme.

Another option is to add a custom field to posts created by Postie, then your theme can change the body class as needed.

This will only work for the single page view. Your post list will have to be done differently.

Could you use something like this to insert a postie class into the body class?

It would not be appropriate for Postie to change the body element in this way. This is the job of the theme. Postie is just a alternative way to create a post. You can’t change the body element in the regular editor.

You could do this on your site.
