How to configure blog posts to show in FC Feed or specific Space
Does anyone know how I can set up my FC to be able to pull my WordPress Blog Posts into my Community main news feed or a specific Space when the blogs are scheduled to go live, when they are published on the front end of the site?
I use Community Comments by Ross FCA - It replaces the comments section of a post with comments from the community! So it will automatically create a community feed post for that blog post with a link to the full thing and then if you comment in your community, it will appear under the blog post!
If you want to see it in action, have a look at my website. Here's the community post and here is the blog post it's related to.
Feel free to ask me any questions about it! I'm a huge advocate!
As Shani Cipro - we're using Community Comments on https://buildyour.community/ and it's working really well.
Jonathan Gwyer That looks amazing! What theme are you using??
Shani Cipro thank you 😊 The theme is Astra, but most of the hard work is being done by Beaver Builder.
Jonathan Gwyer You've inspired me to make my main website and the community more integrated! How did you get the blog archive to match the community so well?
Shani Cipro I guess that means I'd better pull my finger out and do some work on my community! 🤣
Using theme compatibility I built a new blog page with Beaver Builder, and just styled it to match the community (I've cheated and removed the dark mode option to save a lot of hassle!)
The actual blog posts were a bit trickier, as Ross's comments plugin only works with the native comments block in a post. So I've had to do some javascript hackery to move the comments after the page loads. I could have just put the effort into the CSS needed to make the default Astra post layout look right, but I'd rather use Beaver Builder whenever I can.
