oik_clone_find_target_by_slug() – Try finding a match by slug

You appear to be a bot. Output may be restricted

Description

Try finding a match by slug

Notes:

• The post type has to match
• Since we're only passing a single post type, which may be "attachment" or "page",
• we have to ensure the post_parent parameter will not be used in the query
• 'attachment's have a post_status of 'inherit'… we don't pass the post status
• Does this mean we can't clone 'private' posts,
• or should we be passing the master's post_status?
• Actually, all we want to do is find the post.
• We're going to set the status to the same as the source.

Usage

$integer = oik_clone_find_target_by_slug( $source );

Parameters

$source

( object ) required – the source post object

Returns

integer the ID of the matching post or null
