Hi

I like the idea of the plugin which allows you to create forum topics based on blog posts. However, my blog sits outside the site which has the forum. Is it possible to patch in an external blog to create automated forum posts?

 

Thanks

Jon

no, afraid its only current blog…

of course, if you used a wp plugin for pulling in outside site rss feed of posts and creating a wp post on the site, you could link it that way…

We tried the WP Plugin “WordPress MU Sitewide Tags Pages” which put all the most recent posts on a WordPress network in a blog (one site on the network), and on this blog SP is installed and activated.  Unfortunately the trick does not work. The posts on this SP blog site from the network are different from natively created posts.

If that works it will be great! We have a forum for discussion of blog posts in the whole network. It would be totally fragmented if each blog is maintaining its own forum.  Please help!
