Publish to Facebook from WordPress using Wordbooker

I have installed Wordbooker on my WordPress blog to post to my Facebook wall when I make a new post. The plugin was extremely simple to install and can be found here.

Upon installing and activating the plugin, visit its settings page under Settings >> Wordbooker. Click the connect with Facebook button and allow the requested permissions. You will then be directed back to your blog administration panel where you are given a set of configuration options. The ‘Blog Level Customisation’ allows you to define the default settings for all users of your blog. The ‘User Level Customisation’ allows the logged-in user to customise their own settings.

There are a variety of options including posting to your wall (publishing), posting to your status, re-posting on edit (either every time or when a post hasn’t been edited for a set number of days) and a choice of an action link. There is also the option to synchronise comments, or ping them either way, i.e.:

  • Facebook -> WordPress (OR)
  • Facebook <- WordPress (OR)
  • Facebook <-> WordPress

The settings can also be overridden on a post by post basis using the additional widget on the ‘Add new post’ page of the WordPress administration panel.
