I want all the blog posts in a specific category to be posted as status updates on Facebook. Which means: all posts posted in the category named "X" should be posted automatically to my Facbook (fan)page.
Any experience of this?
Thanks.
It would be easier to use a plugin, see: http://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/ one for example.

This plugin automatically publishes posts from your blog to your Social Network accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+(Google Plus), Blogger, Tumblr, LiveJournal, FriendFeed, DreamWidth, Delicious, Diigo, Instapaper, Stumbleupon, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Plurk, VKontakte(VK.com), YouTube, WordPress, etc. The whole process is completely automated

There are many ways of auto posting from WordPress to social networks (such as Facebook). There are 3rd party services and plugins that you can use to achieve this.
Some may have more configuration options like choosing which categories as you mentioned but others will simply post all new blog posts to the chosen social networks with the ability to pick which networks.
See How to Auto Post from WordPress to Social Networks for a list of possible solutions. I hope it helps!

Would be most grateful for any advice on this.
I have two analytics views under the same profile:
Website (mywebsite.com)
Blog (mywebsite.com/blog)
The website view excludes all traffic to the blog folder and the blog view only looks at traffic within the blog folder.
I’d like to adjust the social channel grouping on the website view to ensure any referrals from the blog to the website are counted in the social channel. I set up a regex to target referrals from mywebsite.com/blog/* however it seems any clicks from the blog are currently being counted as direct traffic (perhaps due to the filter?).
Would very much appreciate any suggested solutions / implementations to achieve this.
Many thanks!
I am using buddypress for my website. I am searching for a plugin which allows members to post articles, stories and poems. It is good if the member can upload documents with it. I have searched a lot but couldn't find suitable one which works with buddypress. Any suggestions?
Have you tried Front-end Editor by Scribu:

You could set up custom post types for articles, stories and poems:

This rss link is only work in old version IE.This rss link is not work with firefox,chome,lastest broswer and facebook page.
Plsase help me how I can get rss link for my forum.
Sorry for bad english.
First of all you should consider upgrading your forum because of security risks.
What you need is to auto post your forum topics to your facebook page/profile?
If is that what you need you can use a 3rd party website that provide this kind of service.
The one i use and recoment is http://twitterfeed.com/, where you can automaticly post all your forum updates to twitter AND facebook.
About your RSS URL, the default feed of SMF forum is really /index.php?action=.xml;type=rss wich will display ALL updates of your forum, including new topics, and new answers to topics. You can freely manage this feed type to show only new topics, or only topics from one determined category, etc. Good Luck.
I like to know if there is a way to create topics on specific Forums when I save posts on WordPress side. Is there any tutorial available?
More specific. I like to allow my plugin users to combine a WordPress category to a phpBB forum, and when I create a new post in the WordPress, automaticly to create a topic in the phpBB side in the corresponding forum.
ie: Post that are posted on Tech News category, automaticly to be posted on Technology news forum on the phpBB side.
Any solution for that ?
BBPress is supposed to do exactly this.
http://bbpress.org/
If you want to develop your own Wordpress plugin, take a look at phpBB's submit_post function:
http://wiki.phpbb.com/Using_phpBB3%27s_Basic_Functions#1.4.7._Inserting_Posts_and_Private_Mess
http://wiki.phpbb.com/Function.submit_post
and Wordpress' publish_post function, located in wp-includes/post.php
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_publish_post
You don't need to switch to bbPress, you can use WP-United. It only allows you to select one forum to cross-post to at the moment, but it would be an easy change to cross-post based on category: I'm considering adding that for v0.9.2
I wish to build a "lecture notes" website using wordpress. And would love for any advice on what plugins to use, other considerations to have or website that perform a similar task with WP.
The website should have a form that will allow users to upload their lecture files. The results should be a new "post". When submitting the form, the users should be able to tag their subject matter so to allow others to search it.
I would search for a "Members" type plugin, that lets you really fine-tune the roles and capabilities of each user type. Then you can let your users sign up as "contributor" or other lower level, and then use the Posts as your notes pages. Each post would have the ability to upload a file (not sure what formats are accepted, you might need a doc/pdf type plugin for that). You could also narrow it down by pre-specifying categories. Then you could use the comments as a discussion forum for each "lecture". Depending on the depth of customization you wanted, this could be fairly easy, or extremely complicated. ;)
If the WordPress site is on wordpress.com, then you can set the site so that you can publish via email. You might create a separate category for each person that is going to post to the site. There are "shortcodes" (see WordPress Support page "post-by-email" below for a list) which can be added to each email that will direct that post to one or more categories [one category might distinguish the poster, while other categories might group postings by topics, etc.]. Another shortcode can make the posting a "draft" or "private", while I think the default is to make the posting live immediately. *If you post by email, then all posters do not have to have Admin access to the site, they just have to have the unique WP site email posting address. *If you want to try the "Audio Post" feature (call from any phone and enter unique WP site key code), I don't think there is a way for the caller to direct the audio posts to a category via the call. An admin would have to add the category to any audio posts later. **All WP site "categories" automatically have an RSS feed created for them, so each of your posters would have their own chronological list of postings.
