How to Add Default Content
Have you ever noticed that the same wording appears in all of your posts? People frequently accomplish this by encouraging others to subscribe to their feeds, retweet the message, share it on Facebook, and so on. You may always add it right after the content with a simple tag, or you can make that text the default content in your WordPress post editor.
Simply open the functions.php file in your WordPress theme and insert the following code within the PHP tags.

add_filter( 'default_content', 'my_editor_content' );function my_editor_content( $content ) { $content = "If you like this post, then please consider retweeting it or sharing it on Facebook."; return $content;} |
Then you’re done. Create a new post, and the new content should appear there.
