WordPress plugin to post to Facebook wall and Twitter feed

by jaymz on 21/10/2010

We’ve recently had to do some automatic posting of content to facebook from a wordpress blog. I did find this wordbook plugin but it apparently has broke recently and people have been complaining it no longer works (27 out of 27!). So I’ve rolled my own. It’s in a very early stage but the code seems to work ok.

Instructions (you’ll need to create a new application and then authorize that for your user) and code are all over at github. I can’t really tell if I’m “doing it right” but it’s working and is a start. Fork and be happy…

Updated I’ve now added in support to push the title to twitter. I’m currently working on hooking in Bit.ly support to add the short URL to the tweet. Code is pushed to GH.

More updates The twitter posting now uses the post tile + a bit.ly link to your blog permalink. I’ve decided it’s now worthy of v0.2!
