Posting to WordPress 2.9 from within FeedDemon 3.1.0.12 and up
by admin on Feb.05, 2010, under Uncategorized
I’m posting this as a reference for anyone searching for how to configure FeedDemon’s ‘Send To’ feature to work with WordPress 2.9 and up. The instructions on the Newsgator website/knowledge base are outdated.
- In FeedDemon (current version as of this writing is 3.1.0.12), click the gear icon (“choose newspaper icons”) below the title of any post and in the popup window click “Send To”.
- Click on the Send To icon, “Blog This Item”, then “Configure Blog Publishing Tools.”
- Click Add
- Put something in the Description field - it doesn’t matter what, just so you know what it is
- In Command Line or URL, enter the following address:
http://www.mywebsite.com/wordpressfolder/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=post&content=$ITEM_DESCRIPTION_PLAIN$&post_title=$ITEM_TITLE$
where “www.mywebsite.com” is the location of your WordPress blog and ‘wordpressfolder’ is the subfolder your WordPress folder is installed - usually just ‘wordpress’ (you may or may not have this folder depending on how your site is configured) - You can click “Set as default” if desired, then click OK and OK again.
You are now set to post to your WordPress blog from within FeedDemon’s newspaper.
