  • I’m having the same problem as the above person. Only I installed WP-Crosspost on WesbiteA.com and entered the info for WebsiteB.com. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Currently, WP-Crosspost can not cross-post directly from one self-hosted blog to another. It requires the WordPres.com REST API, which is only available to your self-hosted blogs if you also installed the Jetpack plugin.

    So, to make self-hosted to self-hosted cross-posting work, you need to:

    1. Install Jetpack on the destination self-hosted blog.
    2. Connect your Jetpack-enabled self-hosted destination blog to the WordPress.com service. (You do this via Jetpack plugin itself.)
    3. Install WP-Crosspost in your source self-hosted blog (the blog you want to push posts out from).
    4. Connect your source self-hosted blog to your WordPress.com account (this gives you access to the connected destination blog from step 2). You do this from within the WP-Crosspost plugin itself.
    5. Select your destination blog from the drop-down list that appears for “Default blog” in the WP-Crosspost settings screen.

    With this setup, posts you publish on the source blog get sent to WordPress.com, which then pushes that blog content to your Jetpack-enabled destination self-hosted blog.

    I realize this is a bit of a rigamaroll and not very intuitive. In the future, I would like to use the WP API to send posts directly from one self-hosted blog to another, but that code has not yet been written and, as a single independent developer, I just don’t have the resources to devote to this project full-time.

    I hope this helps, though!
