Posting from Friendica to Wordpress!!
I just tested it and posting from Friendica to my Wordpress blog seems to work now. This is amazing and it is yet another set of amazing features Friendica has. My blog is my own personal place. My home. My thing.
But Friendica has become like a backyard with neighbors. A place where I can keep in touch with others, with the news, and so forth. But also a place where I can share my thoughts in seconds. No need to visit my blog, log in, and create a new post. It is a lot easier on Friendica. Coupled with the fact that I can add inline media on Friendica, and it makes it easy to create simple posts. I can have some basic text editing such as: bold, italic, underline. And I can even add markdown
Links are of course a thing, and quotes are handy:
Like so
Our Friendica instance has custom designed themes so that it makes it look more modern and easy to navigate. I am using the Dark Purple one:
Ok. So how do you post form Friendica to Wordpress?
Go to your Friendica Settings - Social Networks
Then add your Wordpress URL and the /xmlrpc.php after it. Add your user and password and click save.
Then, when you make a post, click the Permissions tab and select to post on Wordpress:
You can even select to auto-post on Wordpress by default via the same Friendica Settings - Social Networks setting.
In any case this is so awesome! Thanks to the Friendica developers. I keep on Saying Friendica is super underrated. #tromlive
EDIT: testing editing to see if that is pushed to my blog post too. I suppose not...but that's ok.

in reply to Gilbert Busana • • •I have a few questions, mainly due to my completely unfamiliarity with the Wordpress plugin :
- shouldn't the comments to this post appear as comments on the blog?
- shouldn't there be a link on the blog to interact from the fediverse?
- shouldn't there be a sign on the blog post that it is actually a friendica post? (like the arrow in the corner that we have on Friendica)

in reply to Gilbert Busana • • •But if you install the Activitypub Wordpress plugin it works the other way around: posts made on wordpress cna go to your friendica if you enable native reshares, and any comment on friendica for that post, will go to the wordpress post. Any edit to the wordpress post will update the Friendica post too. So works far better the other way around from what I can tell...

in reply to Gilbert Busana • • •Are they compatible with each other ? Of course the AP plugin won't magically notice that the post originates from Friendica, but is there anything that prevent you from doing the following ?

in reply to Gilbert Busana • • •Seems a bit too complicated to me and it means you make double posts....
Did I get you right?

in reply to Gilbert Busana • • •1) friendica is already able to follow a wordpress blog, through the rss / atom protocol and when you try to follow a federated Wordpress, frendica relentlessly follows it as an RSS feed ... I tried to figure out how to get around the problem, but it seems that friendica deems RSS "more native" than pub activity for WordPress blogs. And therefore it tends to give priority to RSS
2) The second problem concerns some technical limitations of the activitypub plugin for WordPress, among which the most worrying one is the fact of not managing the privacy of messages: in practice, if someone sends a private message to the blog user, this message becomes public .in addition, the activitypub plug-in for Wordpress cannot manage the deletion of messages, so if I send a message by mistake then I can no longer delete it
I talked about it here: https://www.informapirata.it/2022/03/27/questa-e-una-prova-per-verifica-da-quali-social-federati-e-possibile-a-rispondere-a -this-post /

in reply to Gilbert Busana • • •tio@www.tiotrom.com- that's how it works from my understanding. It is like you cannot follow my entire Freindica instance at https://social.trom.tf but you can follow me at tio@social.trom.tf.2) It is true there are limitations and concerns with the activitypub plugin. But it is still new. Report issues here https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-activitypub/issues

in reply to Informa Pirata • • •Btw I've been having trouble recently with that. My posts and comments don't go through to lemmy unless I search for them manually.
I just tried posting and commenting in feddit.it's test community and have the same problem.
Both lemmy.ml and feddit.it are supposed to federate with nerdica.net
Are you still regularly posting and commenting to Lemmy from Friendica?
