Twitter Blog

Download the plugin

Twitter Blog will not only tweet your blog post, but it will also check hourly for replies to that tweet and turn it into a comment on that blog post. It also uses the bit.ly API for URL shortening and adds link generated to your bit.ly account for tracking purposes.

This is in active development so there will be frequent updates. Sometimes multiple per day. If you find any bugs or have a suggestion: chris@twitterblogplugin.com

Current Features

  • Tweets about your blog post on posting
  • Creates a bit.ly link when your blog post is tweeted and adds it to your bit.ly link history
  • Checks for replies to the tweet hourly and converts them to comments
  • Direct Message is sent to the user notifying them their tweet has been added to your blog post
  • Comment will be moderated and administrator will be notified according to system settings.
  • Customizable Tweet format
  • Converts tweets with #blog hashtag to a blog post. (Hashtag is customizable)
  • Allows for Start and End parts of tweet to be customized.

Future Enhancements

  • Use the Twitter user’s image for the comment image
  • Add Twitter hashtags to tweets for individual posts

    Good job !

    I just have to add this to work on my server :

    if (!function_exists(‘curl_setopt_array’)) {
    function curl_setopt_array(&$ch, $curl_options)
    {
    foreach ($curl_options as $option => $value) {
    if (!curl_setopt($ch, $option, $value)) {
    return false;
    }
    }
    return true;
    }
    }

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for the awesome plugin. I have a question/suggestion.

    I’ve been trying to get your plugin to tweet[post title+author name+link], but without success.

    The scenario I have is that I have multiple authors (tweeting to one Twitter account) and I’m trying to get the tweet to include the author’s name (something like: a day in the sun (by James smith) bit.ly

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Danny.

    Hey! Thanks for the great plugin!
    But i have one question. Did the plugin automatically check my twitter updates with the hashtag in the options and did it post my tweets with that hashtag automatically to wordpress as blog post? And if not, how can i change it, because i want that he plugin does it automatically – i don’t want to click so much on the import twitter button :)

    thanks!

    Hi Chris,

    I’m trying to install the plugin in WordPress. When I click ‘activate’, the page starts loading forever. Then when I return to my WP dashboard, half of it is gone (the menu on the left + all the content). It only returns after I delete the plugin files.

    So, I can’t activate it and it breaks my WP backend…

    Aside from that, great feature list for this plugin.
