    Hi!

    Im using a plugin called wp rss aggregator to fetch a bunch of rssfeeds that are displayed on one page. I want to find a way to publish this to facebook, and im trying out publicize at the moment. Wp rss aggregator has its own custom post type, and with action placed in functions i managed to get the nest publish feed item posted to facebook. So far so good. First problem is that im using a shortcode to display all feed items on one page, and the link that get publish on facebook wont work.

    So i wonder if i could set a static linkadress for all my posted items to the page where it gets publish (my startpage)?

    Also, it wont seems to fetch the image that comes with the feed item.

    This is the site: skatevids.me. One of the last feeds got publish on facebook, and this is the link it assign to it: https://skatevids.me/?p=9526

    Publicize works on newly published posts only. Setting a specific post URL would be updated initially, but any updates/revisions would not be publicized.

    You can add support for that plugin’s Custom Post Type (CPT) in the code defining the CPT – just add publicize to the CPT’s supports array (If you haven’t already).

    For example, to enable Publicize, you would use:
    'supports' => array( 'publicize' ),

    Then, any new post made with that aggregator could be Publicized.

    Any items displayed or updated using a shortcode will not be able to use Publicize.

    I hope that clarifies things!

    Yes of course, I didn’t want it for older posts ??

    I did get publicize to work for my custom post ype. The problem is that the CPT i use actually don’t store the items on the postural. I do use a short code to display ALL feed items on the frontage, and I can make publicize to display those in Facebook, but the only problem is that publicize is using the dummy link. It would work great, if i could make it use a standarlink for all posted Facebook items that direct to the homepage. This can’t be impossible to achieve via php?

    Possibly? However, this level of coding is outside the scope of support that I can provide. Plus, I’m not an expert with PHP.

    I would recommend posting to the Hacks forum on www.remarpro.com to get some input and help from the community volunteers that are experts with these things. ??

    Here’s a link to that forum for your convenience:
