Tools Open Source Sync WordPress


synchronize wechat

synchronize wechat post articles to wordpress website,
see plugins for release.

Introduction

WeChat is the most popular instant message tools in China. Nowadays, wechat posts are very common and people read traditional webpages in less frequency.
However, for better search engine index and Corporation image maintenance,
Official website needs a technique to synchronize what they post on wechat public platform to their own website.
By our search we do not find any open source solution.
As a result, we try to implement a one.
The official website we choose is based on WordPress,
but we believe similar solutions can be provided and customized if the general pipeline is worked out.
