Overview

Issues and information related to cross-posting WordPress content to various social media sites.

Desired workflow

  • Maintain and update content in my custom CMS.
  • The Custom CMS posts to WordPress via its built-in XML-RPC listener.
  • Either the site CMS or WordPress then submits that content to social media sites:
    • Facebook (author page, not personal page)
    • Tumblr
    • Twitter
    • Flickr

Tumblr

Tumblerize

WordPress plugin.

I think it’s set up with the expectation that you’d be manually creating WordPress posts and selecting the cross-post to Tumbler option from there. I.e. it’s all manual. Not sure if it can be set up to automatically post to Tumbler after remotely posting to WP via XML-RPC.

Facebook

The goal is to post to a Facebook page as opposed to a Facebook user's timeline.

It is easier to post to a person's Facebook timeline than it is to post to a Facebook page.

There are WP plugins that allow you to cross-post to your personal Facebook page, but nothing at this date (October 2011) that makes it simple to cross-post to a Facebook page.

RSS Graffiti

Facebook app.

  • Possible solution. Still under consideration.
  • Setup & configuration:
    • Grant it permission to your personal account
    • Then grant it permission to the Facebook page.
    • Then add the feed to the list of feeds for the Facebook page.
    • I set this up to pull content from the RSS feed for blog.damienjay.com and post it on the Damien Jay Comics Facebook page. More about this once I have seen it actually pull from my RSS.

Twitter

I have this set up successfully with calls from the site CMS to the Flickr API.
