Insert Pages lets you embed any WordPress content (e.g., pages, posts, custom post types) into other WordPress content using the Shortcode API. It also includes a widget for inserting pages into any widget area.
The real power of Insert Pages comes when you start creating custom post types, either <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types" rel="nofollow ugc">programmatically in your theme</a>, or using another plugin like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/" rel="ugc">Custom Post Type UI</a>. You can then abstract away common data types (like videos, quizzes, due dates) into their own custom post types, and then show those pieces of content within your normal pages and posts by Inserting them as a shortcode.
<h3>Advanced Tutorial</h3>
Contributor Wes Modes has graciously written an updated tutorial for the Gutenberg era, focused on creating a custom post type with custom fields and a custom template for rendering content. Read it here: <a href="https://medium.com/@wesmodes/using-wordpress-insert-pages-plugin-with-your-custom-post-types-and-custom-templates-535c141f9635" rel="nofollow ugc">https://medium.com/@wesmodes/using-wordpress-insert-pages-plugin-with-your-custom-post-types-and-custom-templates-535c141f9635</a>
<h3>Example: Normal Use Case</h3>
Say you teach a course and you’re constantly referring to an assignment due date in your course website. The next semester the due date changes, and you have to go change all of the locations you referred to it. Instead, you’d rather just change the date once! With Insert Pages, you can do the following:
<ol>
<li>Create a custom post type called Due Date.</li>
<li>Create a new Due Date called Assignment 1 Due Date with Fri Nov 22, 2013 as its content.</li>
<li>Edit all the pages where the due date occurs and use the Insert Pages toolbar button to insert a reference to the Due Date you just created. Be sure to set the Display to Content so Fri Nov 22, 2013 shows wherever you insert it. The shortcode you just created should look something like this: <code>[insert page='assignment-1-due-date' display='content']</code></li>
<li>That’s it! Now, when you want to change the due date, just edit the Assignment 1 Due Date custom post you created, and it will automatically be updated on all the pages you inserted it on.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Example: Advanced Use Case</h3>
Say your site has a lot of video content, and you want to include video transcripts and video lengths along with the videos wherever you show them. You could just paste the transcripts into the page content under the video, but then you’d have to do this on every page the video showed on. (It’s also just a bad idea, architecturally!) With Insert Pages, you can use a custom post type and create a custom theme template to display your videos+transcripts+lengths just the way you want!
<ol>
<li>Create a custom post type called Video.</li>
<li>Use a plugin like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/" rel="ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a> to add extra fields to your new Video custom post type. Add a Video URL field, a Transcript field, and a Video Length field.</li>
<li>Create a new Video called My Awesome Video with the following values in its fields:
<ul>
<li>Video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0</li>
<li>Transcript: We’re no strangers to love, You know the rules and so do I…</li>
<li>Video Length: 3:34</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Create a template in your theme so we can display the video content as we want. I won’t cover this step here since it’s pretty involved, but you can find more help in the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Custom_Page_Templates" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Codex</a>. Let’s assume you created a template called Video with transcript (video-with-transcript.php) that shows the youtube video in a <a href="http://fancybox.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">fancybox</a>, and includes a button that shows the text transcript when a user clicks on it.</li>
<li>Edit the pages where you want the video to show up and use the Insert Pages toolbar button to insert a reference to the Video you just created. Be sure to set the Display to Use a custom template, and select your new template Video with transcript. The shortcode you just created should look something like this: <code>[insert page='my-awesome-video' display='video-with-transcript.php']</code></li>
<li>That’s it! Now you can create all sorts of video content and know that it’s being tracked cleanly in the database as its own custom post type, and you can place videos all over your site and not worry about lots of duplicate content.</li>
</ol>
The possibilities are endless!

I love these kind of single purpose plugins just solving a specific issue. Great plugin, works as intended.

<a href="http://wpscoop.com/wp-inject" title="Free plugin to insert images into WordPress posts" rel="nofollow ugc">ImageInject</a>, previously called WP Inject, allows you to easily insert photos and images into your WordPress posts. Search among many thousands of free creative commons images for any keywords of your choice, then pick the best of them for the article you are working on and insert them into your post or set them as featured image! Best of all it is super fast: Injecting an image only takes 3 clicks in total!
No further setup is required after installing ImageInject. You can start inserting photos right away! To do so the plugin adds an easy to use search metabox to your WordPress editor (“Add New” post screens). Simply enter any keyword to find great photos for your post.
Advanced users can head to the ImageInject settings page and fine tune the plugin. A lot of different options let you control most aspects of how ImageInject finds and inserts images into your posts. By editing the templates you can control exactly how the photos and automatic attribution will look on your blog!
Have a look at my <a href="http://wpscoop.com/wp-inject/#docs" title="How to insert images with ImageInject" rel="nofollow ugc">tutorial on how to install and use ImageInject</a> to get started with the plugin. Besides explaining the basics the tutorial also contains details on all the available settings in ImageInject and how the plugin works together with WordPress SEO by Yoast.
<h4>2019 Update</h4>
After a long hiatus I finally found the time to update ImageInject. The latest version 1.17 fixes common issues with Flickr not working and ensures compatibility with the latest WordPress versions. The plugin works with the Classic Editor plugin as well as with the new Gutenberg editor, however for the time being the Gutenberg integration is relatively basic and uses the same old metabox. Once I get more comfortable with Gutenberg I will consider further improvements.
<h4>Supported Image Sources:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Flickr – Over 200 million creative commons images. Attribution is automatically added where required.</li>
<li>Pixabay – More than 150,000 high quality public domain photos. No attribution required for any of them!</li>
<li>More sources will be added in the future to bring you even more free images for your blog posts!</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Search thousands of creative commons photos and include any into your posts.</li>
<li>Fast and easy: Inserting images takes 3 clicks and less than a minute!</li>
<li>Automatically adds the required attribution links next to the image.</li>
<li>Set the featured image for your post with a single click.</li>
<li>Insert multiple images at once and create whole galleries! </li>
<li>Choose between several image sizes easily.</li>
<li>Modify the templates of ImageInject to change how images get displayed in your posts.</li>
<li>Images are saved to your own server and added to the WordPress media library.</li>
<li>Automatically populated ALT and title tags of the image for search engine optimization.</li>

</ul>
ImageInject has also been implemented into <a href="http://cmscommander.com/" title="Manage WordPress faster!" rel="nofollow ugc">CMS Commander</a>, my service that allows you to manage any number of WordPress blogs from a single dashboard.

ImageInject

We installed it at a group blog where, after an outlandish but still potentially expensive threat of lawsuit for copyright infringement, we adopted a policy of using properly credited rights-cleared images. It quickly became a favorite of editors and writers, and an essential tool. Takes a little bit of work to understand and configure correctly, but overall it's very easy to use. If the developers added Wikimedia search, I'd need six stars.



Terrific Plug-In and Can Save You a Lot of Money/Anxiety, Too
