Auto-tweet your blog posts with idek-rss adam
8 characters and you have tweeting from wordpress. idek-rss, that’s it.
Ok, I know idek isn’t the first, but this is all part of making sure that you can get all your tweeting under one roof. Keeping with idek’s standards, this is a relatively straightforward plugin. Just in case you need help:
- Drop it into your plugins folder
- Click the Activate link
- Go to the Manage tab, there will be an idek-rss sub-tab, click it
- Enter your default pre-title blurb
- Enter your twitter username and password
- Hit save
That being said, I prefer to have custom text with every tweet. I hope to employ custom fields at some point in the near future to prevent cookie cutter tweets from being the norm. In the mean time. Enjoy.
A zip idek_rss can be found here: idek_rss , this contains a directory which should be placed within your plugins directory (wp-content/plugins).
As always hit me up (@covati) with any Qs, actually check out uservoice and do it there…

I was just going to install and start using, but then I saw that it won’t work correctly with future-dated posts.
Have there been any updates made to this plugin that allow it to function properly with scheduled posts?

Hey thanks for getting this up! I’ll be sure to let you know how it’s working.

@Mike this is a common problem when attaching the tweet action to the “publish” action in word press. Tweeting based off of a different action is quite a bit more complicated. I’ll try to look into this to see if I can discover a better hook. I’ll ping you and update here when I figure it out.
