patreon-connect

This takes from Patreon and puts the posts into WordPress…. I want to do the opposite of that, but there's no option to have it take the posts from WordPress and put them into Patreon, or at least create a notification to my Patreons that I've created a new post in my WordPress. Most of my Patreon posts, I do not want on my WordPress page, but I do want all of my WordPress posts on my Patreon page. Posts from multiple WordPress websites, I want to have posting to my Patreon. Patreon is more all-encompassing, WordPress is for specific things per website. This plug-in needs to be reversed.

It's a neat concept, and it almost works… but importing posts does not import the featured images, inline images, or attachments, making it pretty much pointless if you have anything but a text-only Patreon account. An option to turn these into previews with a "click here to read the post on Patreon" would be a partial workaround. But as it stands, since it only imports the text, it almost does more harm than good, by making your imported posts look worse than they do on Patreon.

It's a great plugin. However, I had to fix bugs, make some PHP adjustments, manage the French language, and update it visually to match Patreon's new branding. The plugin isn't consistent with the new branding, even though it's three years old already. So, I never update it, because it overwrites my changes (which makes sense). That said, I'm really looking forward to Patreon releasing a version 2.0, because this one is getting old. But apart from that, it's a great plugin. 😏

The Pro Version stopped working at 1.6.4: Users were unable to connect to Patreon. Downgrading to 1.6.3 fixed the problem. Unfortunately all further updates didn't fix the problem, only a downgrade would make it work again. The current version can't be tested without updating my subscription. Support disappeared after the first response, where a fix was promised but never delivered

This version is stable. Don't buy or try the pro plugin. That plugins code is garbage and it crashes everything.

I have to go in and manually edit each post as this plugin doesn’t pull in the main image from Patreon. I would expect it to pull the image as a featured image in WP. It does pull in the images from the body of the post which is great. Also seems to use Classic editor instead of blocks / Gutenberg by default, which is not a big deal but also something I update when I go in to edit. it doesn’t pull videos that are the main part of my Patreon posts either, so I do have to manually embed them in WP. I understand this may be a bigger development task as Patreon supports a number of different video types, but it would be nice to at least have, say, a raw URL link of whatever is in my Patreon posts either so I do t have to keep cross referencing.
