WordPress posting automation

A WordPress Auto-Publisher publishes posts from your feeds to your WordPress site. It can create one WordPress post per feed item, or a digest of several items.

Before you start: connect your site

Feedigy connects with a WordPress application password.

1. In WordPress, open your profile (Users > Profile) and create an Application Password. The user needs the Author or Editor role.
2. In Feedigy, select Connect blog on the WordPress channel page or in the wizard.
3. Enter the Site URL, your Username and the Application Password.

If Feedigy says your hosting strips the Authorization header, ask your host to enable CGIPassAuth (or the same setting on your server). Publishing fails until then.

Set it up

1. Open Auto-Publishers, select Add new, and add your feeds. See Step 1.
2. In Destination channel, choose WordPress, then your blog in Select a blog.
3. Set up the post (see below). Check it in the preview on the right.
4. Select Next, set the schedule, and select Finish.
