TwitCategory (Plugin for Wordpress)

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

TwitCategoryAnnounces new posts (from a selected category) on twitter.

Download

Download the file from wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitcategory/

How to install:

Download and unzip the folder twitcategory.

Upload twitcategory to the /wp-content/plugins directory.

Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in Wordpress Admin (you may need to be using a wordpress administrator)

    Amazing plugin. One of the only auto-tweets still working with 2.8+. I have a feature request for you. Have it convert the URLs to TinyURLs.

    I just found you can’t use ” in the tweet. It converts it to \” which then shows up in the tweet.

    Thanks! Great plugin.

    +1 for Drew’s ides – this would be perfect if it reformed the Permalink as a bit.ly link or similar shortener.

    Drew and DaveP,
    Thanks for the great feedback. I will be updating the plugin soon (after testing in WP 2.9). While I am at is, I will also take a look into adding bit.ly and other url shorteners.
