Post to social automatically and RSS feed
I added the define('FLUENT_COMMUNITY_PORTAL_SLUG', ''); on my wp-config.php so that my forum would be my domain rather than yourdomain.com/portal.
But I've spent the night trying to figure out a way for my post/feeds made by (admin) to automatically be posted to social media pages(like Facebook) to generate traffic, my wordpress blog with the help of some plugins helps me on that(like social auto poster, etc).
I really need a way to automate my post to social media pages
I've tried everything I could and I also found out that FC doesn't allow RSS feed, yourdomain.com/feed only shows the wordpress blog feeds and not the FC forum feeds.
Is there any remedy to this please?
You could use one of the automation tools like FlowMattic. It could be triggered to create a post on Facebook or X/Twitter (maybe others as well) when a new FC post is made.
Thomas Oates what you said is for FB app, I need it on my FB page. Flowmattic works on FB app(developer).
wilson eberechi I could be wrong as I've never tried automating posting to Facebook but I think going through the developer process is the only way to post programmatically to Facebook pages. ChatGPT agrees:
Thomas Oates I've written some codes for it, I've fixed it. I created a plugin that create a custom RSS feed for fluent community. I used the feed for ifttt, dlvrit and it worked. I also set it on admin post only, only admin post feeds goes to my social media pages. Anypost I make on my site automatically goes to my social media pages now. In case you need the plugin, here it is https://mpaddi.com/space/customrssfeedforfc/post/custom-rss-feed-for-fluent-community
Use GPT/Claude/Gemini and ask it to create a wordpress plugin to do it. That's what I did for courses/lesson
Mine: FluentCommunity Published Courses RSS Feed (Validated)
Generates an RSS feed for all published courses (spaces) in FluentCommunity, including categories, and is fully RSS-validated.
I may take a couple tries to get it working exacty the way you want. Took me about 10 minutes.
James Maduk can you use your RSS feed on ifttt.com? And it work? I have an RSS feed but whenever I try creating an aplets on ifttt so that post published on my forum would automatically be posted on my FB page but the ifttt says it's not a valid RSS feed, RSS feed must have < channels > in it
https://trainingsites.io/feed/courses - I had chatgpt write a simple plugin to generate a valid rss. I then have it post to social media when I add a new space/course. Let me know if you want a copy
James Maduk I already created a plugin that generates custom rss feed. You used any automation to post to social media?
WiLson Eberechi I use Flowmattic to create FB/IG and X posts. Currently working on LinkedIn and Reddit, although that's a bit buggy for now.
Christian Frank if it's buggy for you, you can use this https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/space/community-meta/post/i-created-a-custom-rss-feed-plugin-for-f
