Anyone know if you can post to Wordpress and the Forum

#1 · May 28, 2019, 6:40 am

I installed the plugin on my site and I do a lot of reviews on affiliate products. But I would like to create a post on wordpress that will also publish to my forum in a certain topic/category. can this be done with Asgaros Forum?

I did see that. But does that mean i have to post to the forum first. I wanted to post a product review on my site and then it would auto post to the forum

Hello @justinlee720

Usually this function is only available for new blog-posts. This means: After you create a new blog-post, a copy of it is inserted into the selected forum.

If you want to use it for other post-types, you can add a modified version of the following code to your themes functions.php file:

https://asgaros.com/support/topic/i-want-to-use-custom-post-type/#postid-7586

Inside of the code, you have to replace MY_POST_TYPE with the corresponding post-type which is used by your review-plugin.

so does that mean that BEFORE writing the post i need to go to Forum -> Settings -> General -> Create topics for new blog posts in the following forum , choose forum [have a few] and only that create the post?

+ i don’t assign categories to my posts – does this matter?

+ afterwards, what happens to edits? if i edit the post in the forum – i assume it won’t effect the original post, correct? how about vice versa?

thank you!

Hello @123

You only have to set the forum once so that in the future all new blog-posts are also published inside of the defined forum. If you want to use different forums for different blog-posts, you have to change the setting before or move the create forum-topic afterwards to the corresponding forum.

WordPress blog-posts categories dont have any impact on the created forum-topics. There is also no connection or synchronization between those topics and blog-posts. Usually this feature is used to provide discussion-topics for new blog-posts.

I will love to see a option in the backend where ask if you want publish this post in the forum, and then you select the forum to post.

—

Publish in the forum  [ ]
Select a forum  |-_-_-_-_-_-_-|v|
                | - Forum 1     |
                | - Forum 2     |
                | -- Subforum 1 |
                |_______________|

😛

Cheers!
