Questions and Help
1

Hi there,

Is it possible to create a text blaze snippet to click on the Update button in Wordpress backend?
As a SEO, I tend to make a lot of tweaks to the content in my posts, and then I want to save time by quickly creating a snippet to push the update button.

Please see this dropbox link for what I mean:

Looking for suggestions if someone could help!
Thanks!

It's hard to tell exactly without looking at the window directly, but you can likely tab to the button with one or more {key:tab} (or {key: shift-tab}). And then activate it with either {key:enter} or {click}.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your suggestion! Don't think having multiple tab would help in this situation.
As the wordpress backend is filled up with buttons:


This is just an example of a draft-> See the Publish Button on the top right.

I wanted to automate clicking on that.

That looks pretty difficult. {key:tab} might be able to do it, but it's not a great solution.

One tip that may be helpful, you can specify a large number of tabs without a lot of typing and pasting using the {repeat} command like so:

{repeat: 10}{key:tab}{endrepeat}

I use these on a number of snippets - they're great!
