Copying is fine, but only if the column is not too long. But sometimes the column has a lot of data and has many rows, so to copy the contents of the cells you have to constantly go to the top and bottom and left and right of the page and go back to the current cell to paste it. Not only is this time consuming but it can also cause problems after doing it several times.

There is a better way to do this. Whenever you want to paste previously entered data into a new column, simply press Alt + Down to get a list of all the data in the column. You can use the arrow keys to select items and press Enter .

If you want to use the mouse, right-click on the current cell and select ” Pick from Dropdown List ” and select an item to enter the current cell.

In this article, we will show you how to override comment deadline in WordPress and keep comments open on certain posts.

How to Disable Comments on Older Posts in WordPress

If you are getting a lot of spam on older posts on your WordPress blog, then WordPress offers a simple solution to turn off comments on older articles.

You can enter the number of days here and then save changes.

Overriding Comment Deadline Restriction for Individual Posts

After disabling comments on older posts, there may be posts where you would like to keep the comments open. Here is how you can override the comment deadline restriction and enable comments on certain posts while keeping them off for other posts.

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Override Comment Deadline plugin. The plugin works out of the box and there are no settings for you to configure.

Simply edit a post where you want to keep the comments open. Scroll down and you will see Override Comment Deadline metabox. Check the box next to ‘Keep comments open’ option and update the post.

That’s all, you can visit the post, and you will see comments enabled there. Repeat the process for all posts where you would like to keep comments open even after the comment deadline.

Now you need to install and activate the Disqus Notify Post/Page Author plugin. It works out of the box and there are not additional settings for you to configure.

That’s all, authors on your site will now receive notifications for new Disqus comments on the email address associated with their account.

Troubleshooting

If you just added a test comment and didn’t receive notification email, then don’t panic. It usually takes sometime for Disqus to sync comments with your WordPress database. The plugin will only send email notification when a comment is synced and imported into your WordPress database.

Make sure that the email address associated with the author account is valid. Also don’t forget to check the spam folder. If you are using a fancy mailbox like Google’s Inbox, then the comment notification emails will probably land into Updates section.

Lastly, make sure your WordPress site is capable of sending emails. See our guide on how to fix WordPress not sending email issue.

Quick Featured Images allow you to quickly set, remove, or replace featured images. You can also set default featured images and display featured image column on the posts screen. We will walk you through each of these functions.

Bulk Set, Replace, Remove Featured Images

If you want to quickly set, replace, or remove featured images, then you need to visit Featured Images » Set, replace, remove.

The first option on the page allows you to perform certain actions using a single image. You can set a single image as featured image for all published posts which will also replace existing featured images. The second setting allows you to replace existing featured images with the selected image. The third setting looks for the image on your website and removes it as featured image.

You can also use multiple images and set them randomly as featured images on all your existing posts. Simply upload the images you want to use under ‘Actions with multiple images’.

The last section on the page is labeled ‘Action with no images’. Under this section, you can use the first image in a post as featured image or remove featured images from all posts on your website.

Preset Featured Images Based on Taxonomy

You can easily set a default featured image for each post, or a default featured image based on category. Quick Featured Images provides you a graphical interface to set a default featured image. You can also choose preset featured images for each taxonomy term on your site.

Start by going to Featured Images » Preset Featured Images to set the rules for default featured images.

The first rule on the page will override any featured image set on a post when the post is saved or published. If you want to set the featured image, then the plugin will use the rules you describe on this page.

You can activate this setting if you run a multi-author WordPress blog and don’t want your authors to set featured images. You can also use this rule if you want to use featured images based on the post’s taxonomy.

The second rule on the page allows the plugin to use the first image inside a post to be used as a featured image. If no image is found, then the plugin will use the rules you describe on this page.

The last option allows you to set your own custom rules. You can add multiple rules by clicking on the Add Rule button. This allows you to set featured images based on categories, tags, or any custom taxonomy you may be using on your site. Simply choose an image, and then choose a taxonomy term.

Don’t forget to save your changes once you are finished setting up featured images.

If you want to see whether a post has featured image or not, then you will have to edit the post. Quick Featured Images allows you to add a featured image column on the posts, pages, or any custom post types screen.

Simply click on Featured Images » Image Columns and choose the post type where you want to enable this feature. This is how featured image column will appear on your posts screen:

Before we start, you’re probably wondering if WordPress doesn’t use the universal shortcut, then how does it save? Well WordPress has a very smart auto-save functionality that automatically saves your post revisions in your browser and in the database.

However, malfunctions to the auto-save or another accident can definitely cause loss of work. The best way to avoid this is to manually save the post. WordPress does have a save button that you can manually press, but that’s just inefficient.

So let’s take a look at how to use Ctrl + S or Cmd + S keyboard shortcuts in WordPress to save your posts.

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Quick Preview plugin. Upon activation, you need to visit the Settings » Quick Preview page to configure the plugin.

You can choose whether you would like the preview to open in the same window or a new window. Opening the preview in the same window will take you away from the edit screen.

We recommend that you choose to open previews in a new window. It will be easier to resume editing by switching tabs. After selecting the New window option, simply save your changes.

Now we’re ready to see the plugin in action. All you need to do is create a new post or edit an existing post.

Once you are on the post editor screen, press Ctrl + S keys on your keyboard (Cmd + S for Mac). WordPress will instantly save your post and open the preview in a new window.

Note, that using Ctrl + S will only save your post. If you are working on a draft, using Ctrl + S will not publish your post.

On the other hand, if you are working on an already published post, using Ctrl + S will update the post.

That’s all. Now you can use Ctrl + S keyboard shortcut in WordPress to save and preview your posts instantly. You may also want to check out our list of most useful time saving WordPress shortcuts.
