Crossposting Issues

[cahwyguy]

Note: The plugin I use for crossposting to Dreamwidth ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/lj-xp/ ) appears to have broken with DW's move to https. It looks like that plugin isn't being maintained -- perhaps this is due to the LJ death spiral and the lower use of DW. In any case, to address this issue, a paid user could create a syndication of my blog's RSS feed ( http://cahighways.org/wordpress/?feed=rss2 ); a new plugin could be recommended; or someone could fix that plugin.

I'll note that there have been three posts since the plugin broke.

I've been using the JournalPress plugin [ https://wordpress.org/plugins/journalpress/ ] with no difficulties. Do note that you will have to apply two tiny patches yourself; you can find the info on this in the support section for the plugin.

I tried using the LJ Crossposter plugin but preferred the way JournalPress handled things. I only installed Crossposter because it was supposed to add a link to the LJ crosspost to the Wordpress post, but either that function was broken, or I never enabled it properly.

I'll look into that plugin when I get a chance. As you could see from my posts, I didn't have a problem with links from the LJ cross post to the WP post, but you had to set up the footer right.

Note that plugin hasn't been updated in 2 years either, and it is unclear whether the two patches would reflect the move to always https: that DW has done (which is what I think broke LJXP).
