The "Press This" function allows quick publishing with a special web browser bookmarklet. You can create a post by quoting some text, images, and videos on any web page.
Press This was removed from the Tools submenu in the WP Core as of build 4.9. Due to this, it no longer appears in the Tools menu along with the Categories and Tags Converter options by default.
WordPress 4.2 shipped with a new Press This bookmarklet. Unlike the previous bookmarklet, this new one will not play nicely with NoScript and RequestPolicy (which are security add-ons for Firefox and most modern browsers) out of the box. Here are the steps to get the bookmarklet working with one or both add-ons installed:
^https://mydomain.com/ptw/wp-admin/press-this.php(?:\?|/\1\b)
Using this bookmarklet to publish posts does not pass the $_POST['post_type'] variable with the value of "post".
The bookmark calls http://example.com/wp-admin/press-this.php?u=&t=&s=&i=
Edit the bookmark within your browser to change the values passed if necessary.
u=‘+e(l.href)+‘
to this:
u=’+e(l.href.replace(/\//g,’\\/’))+’
