How to Auto-Feed WordPress Into Facebook

by Bob on June 3, 2011

facebook logoFor a long time I wanted to automatically feed all of my WordPress blog posts into my Facebook fan page but I struggled finding a good way to do it. I finally found a great plugin called ‘Facebook Page Publish’ and it has been working pretty well.

The plugin can be a little confusing when setting it up so I created a quick tutorial on how to get it up and running.

Let me know if you have any questions…

    Helpful information here. I added your site on my favorite, so visit again.

    This is a great video. I was just wondering how to do this the other day. Very timely! Thanks!

    Thanks you made adding this app easy. That’s the first time I’ve made a facebook app and it works great. My posts are up. Do you use feedburner to add your posts to twitter automatically?

    • http://bloggingyourpassion.com Bob

      Thanks guys – glad it helped. Craig, I do use Feedburner on most of my blogs to avoid using another plugin…

    • Jonathan

      Yes, I would use feedburner to do your auto-posting for Twitter.

  • http://daddybydefault.com Craig

    That’s what I thought. i just started using feedburner to update twitter and it works great. The facebook plugin demo worked great too. Really cool app. Now I can cross of my social media updating for these things. On to the next…

    Question, why not just use the publicize feature that wordpress offers for both twitter and Facebook? I find it simple and effective to use and even simpler to turn on.

    • http://bloggingyourpassion.com Bob

      Missy Lissy,
      I am not aware of the publicize feature from WordPress – can you give me more detail?

      • http://womeneverywhere.wordpress.com Miss Lissy

        It’s a native wordpress feature. I only have a wordpress.com, so I can’t speak to custom domains, but here’s more information on it from wordpress: http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/ I like it because it’s easy and customizable.

        • http://bloggingyourpassion.com Bob

          Ok that makes sense – like craig mentioned too it isn’t something that we self-hosted WP bloggers have as an option…

          • http://womeneverywhere.wordpress.com Miss Lissy

            Maybe in the future? It’s a fairly new feature to the wordpress.com blogs.

  • http://daddybydefault.com Craig

    is it a plugin or is a native wordpress feature?

  • http://daddybydefault.com Craig

    Looks like that’s only a feature for the wordpress.com hosted domains, not on custom domains.

    Can you tell this app how often to publish a post to your FB wall. My current FB feed automatically pulls in each new post.

    Would also like to hear your opinion on how often a FB page should publish the daily post. It publishes my posts daily and I haven’t lost any fans (to my knowledge) but the downside is that each status update gets pushed down by the daily feed.

    I like the idea of my articles being on the fans walls every day, but wondered if you would do it differently.

    Thanks!

    Is it possible to do this in reverse? I tend to update my facebook fan page a lot more often then my blog. I would love to feed what I post on my fanpage and automatically have them as blog entries.

    • http://bloggingyourpassion.com Bob

      Jeremy, I don’t think so with this plugin, but I would be there is another plugin out there that would do that!

  • http://daddybydefault.com Craig Grella

    There are blog posting robots that can pull feeds and other info and turn them into autoposts. checkout http://wprobot.net/. not sure if it works with facebook, but they have alot of options. its not cheap though.

    Does anyone have a screenshot of the finished look when it’s on FB?

    I had the perfect app called networkedblogs on facebook and it fed it right through to twitter with images and everything on both facebook and automatic bit.ly on twitter, but when I switched from Blogger to WP.org, it will not accept the change even though it has simple instructions for doing so. They have also shut down their forums so I dont know what is going on.

    I got another app and it put it on my news instead of on the pages and no pictures there. I really just want what I had back! So was wondering if anyone has a screenshot of their blog on fb…or any info is greatly appreciated.

    Your video shows how this is done for a Like Page but I want it to feed to my regular profile wall. At time marker 1:26 you click on Open Link In New Tab which takes you to a simple create application page. Mine doesn’t go to that page and typing in the URL by hand doesn’t work either.

    This is the closest I’ve found on app creation.
    https://developers.facebook.com/ and it seems really convoluted compared to your much simpler example.

    I was feeling really hopeful until I tried it. Any suggestions?

  • http://www.martinlindsey.com Martin

    Never mind. Think I found it. The Facebook updates since your original post threw me off. I’m in good shape now. Thanks again for the tutorial.
