WordBook – Cross-Post Your WordPress Blog Posts To Your Facebook Wall

Posted by

If you’re a blogger, one of the most important things you have to do is to promote your blog. You may think that promoting a blog is easy but it isn’t; it requires hard work, a lot of patience, and sometimes, money. However, there are a lot of simple ways that you can do to start promoting your blog and one is by using your Facebook account.

I know most of the bloggers now have their own Facebook account and if not, you should sign up now because I’m sure you don’t want to miss the opportunity to promote your blog to your friends and in fact, I’m getting a lot of traffic from my Facebook buddies! In addition, there are a lot of ways to connect or integrate your blog posts to your Facebook wall and your friends’ feeds and probably, the easiest way is by using a WordPress plugin called WordBook.

UPDATE: Wordbook is no longer maintained and it was replaced by Wordbooker.

WordBook is a WordPress plugin that allows you to cross-post your blog posts to your Facebook wall. Your Facebook “boxes” tab will show your most recent blog posts.

How to setup the WordBook plugin to connect to your Facebook account:

1. Download and install WordBook plugin.

2. Go to Settings –> WordBook. You will need a special code for WordBook to work and to do this just click the Facebook button. You’ll be asked if you want to allow WordBook to connect with your Facebook account, click “Get login code for”.

3. To get the code, click Generate. Copy the code and go back to the WordBook plugin and paste the code in the box and click Submit.

4. You’ll see your profile picture and your status message if you copy the code correctly. To finish the setup, WordBook requires authorization to publish stories to your Facebook wall, to do this, click the Facebook button. You’ll be asked if you want to allow WordBook to publish posts or comments without prompting you, click Allow Publishing.

5. If the setup has been successful, you’ll receive a message that says “WordBook appears to be configured and working just fine”.

Here’s how it looks like on your Facebook wall:

To everyone stopping by and trying to figure out how to get Wordbook to run - the plugin is no longer being maintained. The Wordbooker plugin has replaced it.

 Ian A Thanks for this Ian.

I cannot get as far as step 2 above. After I log into Facebook, I get an error message and never get to Step 2 above.

Probably there's an error with the plugin. It stops working for me actually.

Good stuff! keep bringing it. :D
