RESTful Content Syndication

Apraksts

RESTful Syndication allows you to automatically ingest content from other WordPress sites, using the WordPress REST API.

This can allow you to run a network of sites, which all receive the same post content.

There is a small selection of options, allowing you select the author, default post status, automatically create the appropriate terms, and set the Yoast No-Index status.

  1. Install this plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  3. Use the Settings -> RESTful Syndication screen to configure the plugin
    a. Set the ‘Master Site URL’ to the base URL of the site to pull the content from (e.g. https://example.com/)
    b. Username and Password are not required by default (but may be required by the person running the Master Site). You can use the WordPress Applicaton Password feature for authentication.
    c. Set the other options as desired
    d. Save your settings
    e. Press the ‘Ingest Posts Now’ button to test it works!

Posts will automatically be ingested every 15 minutes by WP-Cron. There’s also a button to manually pull content on-demand.

If you also control the master site, and use the Yoast SEO plugin, you may want to install this additional plugin: https://github.com/ChazUK/wp-api-yoast-meta

Do I need to install a plugin on the master site?

No, so long as the master site has the WordPress REST API enabled, then you’re all good to go.

If both the Master and Child sites use Yoast SEO, the Canonical URLs and Meta Descriptions of each post will also be imported.

I’m having trouble connecting to a HTTPS Master Site, but HTTP works fine.

Check your web host has installed the appropriate CA Root Certs for PHP’s CURL.

Something isn’t working. What do I do?

Find the PHP Error Log for your website/web-server. Any errors from this plugin should be prefixed with ‘RESTful Syndication ERROR’.
