[Acknowledgments](#acknowledgments) About The Project ----------------- [](#about-the-project) I have accounts on plenty of microblogging sites (Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky and even Threads) but they are all owned and controlled by someone else. I decided that I wanted something that I could use and manage, and a quick search came up with [Michael Gbadebo](https://mothcloud.com/introducing-microposts-microblogging-for-wordpress/)'s WordPress plugin called [Microposts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/microposts/). I installed this and after playing around for a while, I decided that it was just what I was looking for. However, it was quite cumbersome to make a post from a mobile device when I was out and about. What I wanted was a simple page from which I could post including an image so I built this connector. Very much inspired by my [php2Micropost](https://github.com/williamsdb/php2Micropost/) project this package will allow you to easily integrate creating Microposts from your own code.

PHP (I tested on v8.1.13) 2. WordPress (I tested on 6.9.4) 3. Michael Gbadebo's [Micropost plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/microposts/) 4. a WordPress blog and an Application Password (see [this post](https://www.spokenlikeageek.com/2023/08/02/exporting-all-wordpress-posts-to-pdf/) for details of how to do that). ### Installation [](#installation) 1. As above ([back to top](#readme-top)) Usage ----- [](#usage) Here's a few examples to get you started. Note: connection to the Bluesky API is made via Clark Rasmussen's [BlueskyApi](https://github.com/cjrasmussen/BlueskyApi) which this makes a connection to Bluesky and manages tokens etc. See [here](https://github.com/cjrasmussen/BlueskyApi) for more details. ### Setup and connect to WordPress [](#setup-and-connect-to-wordpress) ``` require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; use williamsdb\php2micropost\php2Micropost; $base_url = 'https://www.your-domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2'; $username = 'WordPress username with write permissions'; $password = 'Your 24-character Application Password'; $php2Micropost = new php2Micropost($base_url, $username, $password); $connection = $php2Micropost->wordpress_connect(); ``` ### Sending post with only text [](#sending-post-with-only-text) ``` $text = "This is a test post from php2Micropost.
