I was using WordPress.com and under their Settings > Sharings there was great tool that linked my blog posts to Facebook / Twitter / Linkedin plus more. It was simple to set up and no applications or plug-ins required. I then went to WordPress.org and was expecting the same ‘easy-to-use’ tool but am disappointed that such a basic tool doesn’t exist. I’ve spent endless frustrating hours trying to install plug-ins and have given up. I’m now reverting back to posting on both blogs just so I can get my message across quickly and simply. If I am ‘barking up the wrong tree’ and there is a miracle cure to end my woes please let me know!!!!

Thanks for the info. I have a site in English AND in Chinese, and I am just starting to figure out how to get all of my social media pumping for both sites. Keep up the good work!

since Twitter changed the way your account is accessed this plugin doesn’t work as easily as it use to. anyway you could revamp this post or better yet make a new post about how to post your wordpress update to twitter?
thanks.

Hi thanks for letting us know about this plugin mate.

It looks good and exactly what I’m after although I must admit I am somewhat struggling to get it working so far lol, but hopefully with a bit of time I can figure it out. Cheers

Hi Neil, I’m getting started with my new travel blog and have found your posts to be very helpful and informational. I wanted to say hello and tell you thank you. Any other good stuff you could point a newbie too?

Twitter recently changed the way authentication works, you need to check you have the latest version of twitter tools and then add teh authemtication keys.

“Authentication Failed. Please check your credentials and make sure Twitter is up and running.”

LOVE the convenience of this three-way connection ) Works great, though I did have to make sure all my connections in the FB app were checked (one was at the main Twitter app page).

Thanks!

Super late response to this but… have you tried checking the box “Create a blog post from each of your tweets?” in the Twitter Tools WP plugin settings?

I’m actually trying to go the other way. When I post to Twitter, I want it to create a new blog post on WP. I read somewhere that it is possible with the same widget. But so far, I’m having no luck.

I’ve double checked and twitter tool is tested up to 2.8.3, I am presuming you are at 2.8.4, so am I and I have not had any problems with 2.8.4.

The update to twitter is pushed when you publish your blog post.

Hope that helps
