New property for WP_Post?

Closed this issue 9 years ago · 4 comments

Ultimately, this plugin aims to be integrated into WordPress Core.

The most proper way I can think of how a Post Language feature should be implemented was to add a new property post_language to WP_Post.

But obviously that’s not possible for a plugin. How would we deal with that?

The class WP_Post is final.
For a plugin is the way about custom fields easier to enhance the post.

That’s that. :)

That’s not it, though. Despite the fact we can’t extend WP_Post from a plugin, post_language should still be implemented as a property of WP_Post.

You are right. Feature-as-a-plugin is the new way but just not possible in this case.
There were new features in the past too, right 😉
