Crosspost to Inkwell — Technical Changelog (continued)

03/16/26 — Hashtag-to-Tag Extraction & Jetpack Social Notes Support

Hashtag extraction from post content

• New setting added: Hashtag Tags (enabled by default) under Settings → Entry Settings
• When enabled, the plugin scans the post body for #hashtag patterns and adds them to the Inkwell entry tags
• HTML is stripped from content before scanning so hashtags inside href attributes or HTML tags are not picked up
• Only hashtags starting with a letter are matched — filters out numeric patterns like #1 or #2024
• Extracted hashtags go through the same sanitization pipeline as WP post tags: lowercased, underscores converted to hyphens, non-alphanumeric characters stripped
• Merged with existing WP post tags and deduplicated — if a hashtag in the content already exists as a WP post tag, it is only sent once
• Debug log records how many hashtags were extracted and lists them by name
• “What Gets Sent” sidebar updated to reflect the new tag source

Jetpack Social Notes support

• jetpack-social-note post type now explicitly checked via post_type_exists() and injected into the Post Types checklist if Jetpack registers it as non-public or after the settings page renders
• Hashtag extraction works identically on Social Notes — enable jetpack-social-note in the Post Types setting and any #hashtag in a Social Note body will be sent as an Inkwell tag
• Social Notes have no real title — Jetpack assigns a #NuMb3rs placeholder. The plugin now detects this pattern and substitutes a human-readable date/time string (e.g. March 16, 2026 1:24 AM) as the Inkwell entry title instead
