News on blurt.pl and WP Blurt Publisher
I have made some more changes to blurt.pl and one of them is to adapt the page with tools for automatic publishing of posts from other portals to all tools that exist.
One of those tools is option number 3 - WP Blurt Publisher! :)
Blurt publisher is a plugin for WordPress that will allow you to automatically upload your posts from Wordpress to blurt.
Here's how it works:
- Automatic Publishing: When you publish a post on WordPress, Blurt Publisher will publish it at the time specified in the settings. If you have more posts, it will publish them from oldest to newest. You can configure which posts you want to publish and which not.
- Post Management: You can manage which posts have been published on Blurt and which are pending. The plugin gives you control to decide which posts to sync or skip.
- Customizable Settings: You can configure the plugin by entering your Blurt username, private posting key, and set up tags to be applied to each post. You also have options for reward settings, beneficiaries and posiblity to add community.
- Private Posting Key: The plugin securely stores your private key in your WP database to handle automatic publishing without needing manual intervention. Your key is stored securely and isn’t visible in the plugin settings.
- Automation: With scheduling options, you can control how often posts are synced between WordPress and Blurt, automating the process to fit your content calendar. You can publish hourly, twice a day once, a day, once a week or once a month,
The communication with the blockchain is mediated by an application located on my VPS. It does not store any data or keys. This is a js script using the dblurt.js library that cannot be run on regular hosting in an automatic way, so it must be run using the node application.
The application also charges a 5% commission for its creator, the @khrom account, by setting this account as the beneficiary. There is no option to change this setting. I reserve a certain commission in connection with the implementation of the plugin and taking care of its operation.
Plugin limitations
Does not copy images from wordpress but only links them
You can't publish pages. Published content must be a blog entry.
Download the plugin from the blurt.pl website here:
Blurt Publisher
After downloading it, you have to load it like any other plugin in WordPress and enable it.
Feel free to download and try it out, and let me know what you think!
First fully working account with blurt publisher
Sample of how plugin works you can check on my new profile about Godot Game Engine @godotengine where plugin starts to reblog all content form my site.
I also encourage you to support this profile if you are interested in this topic but also if you want to support my programming efforts :P
Help share this post so that it reaches other users who may be looking for automation of publishing their entries from WordPress!)
If you try the plugin and have any problems, let me know in comments. Your feedback will help improve the plugin.
This is awesome. I was asking years ago for the Foundation to implement something like SteemPress.
I don't currently have a WordPress but back in the day we had some influencers like Tommy Sotomayer who was using it. Sadly they were being downvoted as fake and I had to point out to the downvoters on Steem it was SteemPress from his blog.
They started back up when Hive started, and I gave up. Seems they were desperate to chase off any of outside influence.
So now its time to find those people and tell them that blurt is open for them :D
I'm curious if your interface has a feature that gives attribution to the WordPress blog so Blurt doesn't steal the SEO due to higher DA? I know Medium does that.
My second question is if you know if the outbound links here are follow or no-follow.
I want to do a writeup on this fantastic tool and knowing this will help me write to questions bloggers would have.
The plugin automatically appends a footer to each post published on Blurt, containing a backlink to the original WordPress post.

Links from blurt have follow value
Wow, great work 👍

Wybacz wrzuciłem na razie żeby AI cos wygenerowała żeby już zrobić odpowiednia strukturę strony.. Nie miałem czasu jeszcze redagować treści. Poprawie to na dniach. chociaż troche sie zgadza bo trzeba podać nazwę usera i nazwę community :)
Warto spróbować https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/add/
Będe próbował, muszę tylko dorobić dokumentację i upewnić się że wtyczka spełnia wszystkie wytyczne. weryfikacja trwa tam potem do 10 dni.
Super
I think it may be a problem with my hosting provider. It throws the exact same error on all 3 versions.
Gives the curl error and cant access the plugin on port 3001.
No, I haven't posted it on Github yet.
Hmm, no, that might be my problem. I suspected that it might be a problem, but I haven't managed to figure it out yet.
The thing is that some hosting providers may block traffic on port 3001. I was supposed to send it through 443, which is the standard for https connections, but something wasn't working for me with tunneling for the plugin, and I haven't figured it out yet. The solution is to either ask your provider to open port 3001 for communication on the blurtplugin.online domain, or wait for the next version of the plugin. I'll figure it out in a few days (maybe I'll manage to do it today because I basically have an hour and a half of time this evening, but I can't promise anything)
Or maybe something went wrong, because I see that @godotengine also only sent the post at 8 p.m., and it should have been there at 4 p.m.
Try send it again.
Do you have a github or gitlab repo for it that we can put bug reports. I'm having issues with some things.
Thess are from the error logs. They just keep repeating
My wordpress install is on shared hosting. So I dont think I will have the ability to change anything with ports as it's sayin it's not connecting on port 3001.
Im using 1.1.7>
Should I try one of the older versions?
ok there is a version 1.1.8 where connection goes through 443. check it is working for you.
If it still doesn't work, don't worry, I won't give up and we'll make it work ;)
@unklebonehead
I have 1.1.8 installed now and the key and user name set. Hit the test post button and still havent seen the post show up on Blurt yet.
In the error console is:
[2024-10-14 16:07:11] Error publishing post: permlink.size() > BLURT_MIN_PERMLINK_LENGTH && permlink.size() < BLURT_MAX_PERMLINK_LENGTH: Permlink is not a valid size.
Im not sure what that means. Is my post title too short or too long?
I tried longer and shorter post titles. I still cant figure out what it means.
Screenshot of the error console:
Great! :) you caught two errors. I forgot to add a limit for permlink characters because it can have a maximum of 128 and a minimum of 3. and title 256
permlink is a part of your post address that is generated randomly to avoid situations where two of the same posts overlap.
for example this article has this generated part here:
blurt.blog/blog/@khrom/ 5pqf1r -wp-blurt-publisher-plugin-for-wp-to-automatically-publishing-your-wordpress-posts-on-blurt
I encourage you to try version 1.1.9
I hope it will be ok now. I am surprised that I have already published so many test posts and everything and I did not catch these errors.
You must be lucky when it comes to catching errors :D if there are new features for the plugin I will contact you ;)
Would it be possible for the plugin to strip the url out of an oembed and replace the oembed with just the url?
I had to replace the oembed on Blurt with just the url of the video for it to work.
Yes, I will work on it so that the plugin converts all html to markdown. I haven't done it yet because I wanted to get the basic functionality down first. It is also known that if you don't work as a team, there will always be a lot of fixes when people start using your plugin ;) You know, I had to pull all strings at home to work to finish the plugin, so now I just have to catch up with work and family before I start improving plugin.
Projects never feel like they are "done" do they?, Lol.
I will continue to give you all the feedback I can. I like this plugin.
I do have some improvement ideas but Im not a developer so I dont know if its even possible.
thanks a lot.
Generally most things are possible but not everything has a reasonable balance of time expenditure to effect. I would gladly accept suggestions.
I found another one.
The plugin sends an oembed for the videos which work fine here on BeBlurt. But they are broken on blurt.blog.
Lol. Devs either love me or hate me.
I tend to drive them nuits sometimes. But its only because I love the software they are making.
And 1.1.9 was the magic number! It worked!
AND THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice! I have a wordpress blog and am going to be using this! THANK YOU for creating this!
