Rss2Anywhere Wordpress Beta Test / Tutorial

[twan]

I've just added Wordpress support to Rss2Anywhere. This feature is still in beta. In fact Rss2Anywhere now support anything that supports the blogger api, so blogger.com and almost any blogging package.

The wordpress support allows you to use Rss2Anywhere to post RSS items from a RSS feed on your wordpress blog. So now you can have your own 'auto updated wordpress blog':

Read and follow the below configuration tutorial if you want to be one of the first to use the Wordpress support.

What is this?
This short turotial will setup Rss2Anywhere so that it will post RSS items from a RSS feed to a Wordpress blog located on your own server.

Register
First create a account at Rss2Anywhere, you will only need to enter your email address and password. The email that you can use to login will be send to the email address.

Login
Now login.

Add a server
Click the 'Servers' link in the top menu. Click the 'Add a new Server' link at the bottom of the page. A little popup should appear, enter a name for the server, for example 'Wordpress'. A new page will appear. Now you need to find the url which you use to login to wordpress. Most of the time this url is something like:
http://www.somedomain.com/wp-login.php

Replace 'somedomain.com' with your own domain. Now go to this url and see if this is really your login to wordpress page. Now go back the Rss2Anywhere and fill in the following values in the available fields:
Host: www.somedomain.com
Port: 80
Path: /xmlrpc.php

The only thing you have to do is to enter the username and the password you use to login to wordpress in the Username and Password field. Click the Change button to save the changes.

Import your wordpress blog
Click the 'Servers' link in the top menu. And click the 'Import/update Blogs' link to import you wordpress blog in the Rss2Anywhere system.

What now?
You have now successfully setup Rss2Anywhere. You can now choose to read the A Auto Updated Blog Tutorial (start reading from the 'Add the RSS feeds' part) or the Quickstart (start reading from the 'Did the import work?' part).

But i have more than 1 Wordpres blog?
You can add as many Wordpress servers as you like. Click the 'Add a new Server' for every Wordpress blog you have.

Suggestions and feature request are more than welcome!

Nice one Twan. However, I must admit to having problems getting the RSS feed to work on my Thumblogger blogs. Going to spend sometime now going through it all again. Shitty rain weather makes me feel tired and I can't give it 100%!

maybe you set it up like I did:

Host: www.somedomain.com/wordpress
Port: 80
Path: /xmlrpc.php


INSTEAD OF:
Host: www.somedomain.com
Port: 80
Path: /wordpress/xmlrpc.php

thankfully twan helped me out with this

Hey. this site looks great. I'm trying to work my way around it, but for the most part, its looking really good, and will do me a lot of good when I setup 20+ more blogs in the next couple days. Too bad there wasn't a site like this to auto-link-trade. (or is there?)

The error "400 Bad Request" usual means that your rss2anywhere settings aren't correct. Could you post the field values which you use in rss2anywhere? (don't post your password )
