So I just had the tool I’ve been using for a number of years to pull the content I post from Google+ out to my WordPress blog (thence to Twitter, thence to Facebook) stop working — and, given signs from the plugin owner in the past, I’m going to assume that it’s kaput.
Which leaves me scrambling about for a solution, which I found and tested a partial one without first turning off the downstream feed to Twitter and FB, so apologies for some kind of broken content I sent out.
That solution I found (using a Githubbed version of the WPMU Google+ plugin) maybe-kinda works, but it’s messy (pictures aren’t properly sized coming across, and it’s not pulling the first line for the title, which is an even bigger problem). I have a few more ideas to try, so fair warning that some duplicate things might show up here (I’m going to turn off the tweeting for the moment after I post this, until I get things fixed).
The WPMU solution has the following gaps:
– It’s not supported by WPMU any more, which means it could break (from WP changes or G+ changes) at any time.
– The title is as much body text as it can pull in. Or, sometimes, the name of the shared article. Neither is acceptable.
– No way to exclude posts from being imported. (Minor detail.)
– Images are unbound (I might be able to fix that on the WP end).
– Comments don’t come over.
– A link to the G+ post doesn’t come over.
