FAQ

Can I decide per post if I want to autopost it?

Yes. Since version 1.1 you see a settings box in every post.

Does the plugin send you my login data?

The plugin never transmits any data to me, or anyone else than the mastodon node you set in the settings!

Works once with Version 6.5.5 – then dies

yesnotes July 16, 2024 3 replies

I have Wordpress version Version 6.5.5 installed on July 2024 and just installed Mastodon Autopost which perfectly posted an already written article on mastodon by simply ticking the box for it to do so and clicking on “update”. After ot worked once it died – so yes – it is dead now due to abandonment. So go ahad and install it – if a bunch of others use it, it might be revived.I especially like that this is one addon for one simpel social network, so it is lightweight. Edit: Why the hell did Wordpress moderators mark this post as spam???I did undergo the process to register only to help the community and some moderators here seem to sabotage it.

Easy to use

Great plugin. Easy to use.

Not working with WP 6.1.1

Just hangs in a loop saying “Authentification, please wait…”Refreshing the page appears as if it works, but it never publishes any posts automatically. The manual test post from the Settings works, but never an automatic or manual post from Posts.

Es funktioniert, wie es soll

Robert Lender February 3, 2023

Das Plugin tut genau was es soll. Einmal mit meinem Mastodon Profil verbunden landen alle Ankündigungen zu meinem Blogartikeln im Fediverse – ohne, dass ich noch etwas tun muss. Praktisch ist, dass man den Aufbau des Postings selbst etwas gestalten kann. Also, ob man zuerst die überschrift, oder den Link zum Artikel haben m?chte – und auch, ob man Tags oder Kategorien auflisten m?chte. Wer seine Artikel auf Mastodon ankündigen/bewerben m?chte, für den:die ist das Plugin genau das Richtige.

Facile à installer et pratique !
