So i've been racking my head for the past week trying to get wordpress to autopost to Facebook and Twitter.
I have created a facebook page (just a sole page not linked to any profile), and a twitter account.
I've tried using ping.fm and ping.fm wordpress plugin. To post, I had to go into wordpress and manually make a ping.fm post, and it then gets sent to it's facebook/twitter. Twitter worked, facebook didn't, tried everything – it can't link to the facebook fan page. I gave up after 2 hours.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to link (automatically if possible) my wordpress posts to facebook fan page (timeline) and twitter?
You can use online tools like below which will post from your blog to facebook.
- http://www.rssgraffiti.com/
- http://www.networkedblogs.com/
In addition to this, you can setup your facebook page to auto-post it to twitter. So, when you post a new article to facebook, the workflow will be
Blog -> RSSGraffiti/Networkedblogs -> Facebook -> Facebook Auto post feature to Twitter -> Twitter.
Yes, there is more than one way to auto post content from a WordPress post to social media.
I'd recommend having a look at one of the following options for auto posting
- 1-click Retweet/Share/Like - It will auto post your WordPress posts to social media and provide like/share buttons on your post.
- Jetpack Publicize - automatically post WordPress posts to social media
- NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster - auto post WordPress posts to social media
- Dlvr.it - A 3d party which automatically takes your RSS feeds and post them to social media.
These are only a few methods, I believe searching the web will give you more options.
