How to connect WordPress to Postia

Postia posts to your site through its own plugin, so the site does not need an application password or an open API.

What it takes
Keeps your formatting. No length limit.
How it connects
Install the Postia plugin on your site and connect it once.
Plans
On every plan, the free one included.
Crosspost rules
Yes. A crosspost rule can watch it and send what appears there on to your other channels.

Step by step

  1. On your site open Plugins, then Add New, and search for Postia.
  2. Install the plugin and activate it.
  3. Open Postia in the site menu and press Connect to Postia.
  4. Postia opens and confirms the site is connected. Pick it as a destination when you write a post.

If something goes wrong, the form shows the network's own answer in words, and nothing is saved until the connection works.

Questions about WordPress

My WordPress site cannot find the plugin.

Some hosts switch the plugin installer off, and a site on an intranet cannot reach the directory at all. Upload it by hand instead: download the zip, then Plugins, Add New, Upload Plugin.

That link carries no version and always serves the current release, so a bookmark of it keeps working.

How does a post arrive on the site?

A post arrives as an ordinary entry, with its formatting and images.

What of a WordPress post gets sent on?

The title, the excerpt under it, and the featured image. Not the body — an article is not a channel post, and the whole of one pasted into Telegram reads like a mistake.

Turn on "Link to the original" in the rule and each post carries the address of the article, which is the part a reader wants anyway.

A post says "Partly failed". What does that mean?

It reached some of its channels and not others. Open the post: every destination is listed with what happened to it, and a failed one carries the network's own error message.

Nothing is retried behind your back. Fix the cause, then send the post again to the channels that missed it.
