Introducing Ning Publisher for WordPress

Built on the Ning API, Ning Publisher for WordPress allows WordPress blog posts to be automatically published into your Ning Pro Network’s blog section. This allows you to mirror content from your public WordPress blog inside your Ning Network, so your members can add comments without needing to visit a separate website. You can see this in action on the Brooklyn Art Project network.

You can also create a private WordPress blog that publishes directly to your Ning Network. This gives you the same seamless integration you’d get from using Ning’s built-in blogging tools, while allowing you to take advantage of advanced WordPress features and workflows.

Head over to the Ning Publisher for WordPress Help Center article to get started.

    Is this a feature that will be available to Ning members at any point in the future? Sounds fabulous! Thanks!

    Beware not to use duplicate content between you Blog and Ning network.
    From a SEO guy perspective this is not a good idea;-)

    Missy,

    Any author in your WordPress blog can import their content into any account type on your Ning Network.

    Do you automatically insert a canonical tag into the content that is republished at the Ning network, imported from a WordPress site?

  • http://www.blyxum.nl Tom van der Valk

    Nice start. Will there also be a solution to sync events between WordPress and Ning?

  • http://ericsuesz.com Eric Suesz

    Hey, Tom. I don’t believe so, but you may also want to ask about this on Creators.

    I was very exited when I saw this and immediately decided to switch to the pro plan.

    I followed the instructions, but became stuck on point three with a error message.

    Error: cURL error: error:140773F2:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert unexpected message

    From there on in its been a long arduous week of posting questions on creators and sending tickets to ning’s premium support – from whom I get next to no response. (#00351525)

    Was this plug-in really ready to be announced? Are half the support team off sick with flu or some other terrible condition? The support response time from Ning is shockingly lax compared to any other (cheaper) products I’m currently paying for.

    Rant over. been a bad week.

    :(

    Hey, Ralph. Pro members receive responses pretty quickly, within 24 hours. Our response times have actually improved quite a bit. I believe you may need to have a specific piece of PHP code on your server to make this work. There’s a discussion on Creators about this issue that might be helpful for you.

    How to pay to you if I want to open a new site but I have only China UnionPay

  • http://ericsuesz.com Eric Suesz

    We’re not able to accept all types of payments, but we can try, Kio. Drop us a line here, and we’ll set this up if we can.
