Full complete content import
When a push is made to a client’s site, WordPress will import not only the post content (title, content, excerpt, meta data) it will also import any categories and tags applied to each post. As the images, the client plugin will detect all images used in each post and import those images directly into the client’s media library!

Now create some client accounts, works just like adding any other WordPress user. Remember to add their website URL into the website field!
Provide your client with their account username and password, as well as your website URL

Create your posts under the new ‘Syndication Posts’ post type.
Each time your publish a ‘Syndication Post’, the plugin will automatically push the post content to all registered users!
Speed is key
Content Syndication Toolkit is designed to ensure your master server does as little work as possible when pushing out content. All it does is ‘ping’ each client with a simple quick http request. The client server then jumps into action, authenticating with the master server which runs a quick query and provides a list of content to import.
The client site then does the heavy lifting, importing the post data and downloading any images from your server without WordPress getting involved, thus keeping server load to a minimum.
Problems? Got you covered
Sometimes web servers go down or take a while to respond. If there is any issue with pushing content to a client, the plugin will send an email to you with the details of the error and it will also send an email to the client admin with instructions on how to manually pull in the content using the client plugin admin options.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Set the post type you wish to syndicate in Settings > Content Syndication menu in WordPress. By using the default post type you can keep your syndication posts seperate from your default blog posts OR you can choose to syndicate all default WordPress Posts.
Create client user accounts under ‘Users’ menu in WordPress. Be sure to select the user role ‘Syndication Sub’ AND add the client’s website URL into the user website field. If you forget this content push to this client will fail.
Provide clients with their login info, and your website URL.
Have clients download and active the ‘Content Syndication Toolkit Reader’ plugin from the WordPress plugin directory.
Tell your clients to follow the directions for the ‘Content Syndication Toolkit Reader’ plugin. That is to say, enter in their username, password, YOUR website URL, add select a default author account.
That’s it, every time you publish a post in the new ‘Syndication Posts’ post type. All the post content will automatically be pushed to all registered users in the ‘Syndication Sub’ role.

Do i have to add my posts as ‘Syndication Posts’ cant i use normal posts?
Yes you can! Go to Settings > Content Syndication and select the post type you wish to use from the ‘Syndication Post Type’ drop down menu.
I’ve created accounts for my clients and published a post but the content has not been syndicated
Check that all the accounts you have created for your clients are using the Role ‘Syndication Sub’. Now make sure that all you clients have downloaded the ‘Content Syndication Toolkit Reader’ plugin from WordPress and that they have entered their account details into the reader plugin options.
From here the client can also tell the reader plugin to pull all content from your website without you having to do anything!
Can i create draft posts without pushing them to clients?
Yes. only ‘Syndication Posts’ that are marked as published will be pushed to clients. So be careful when you push the blue publish button, be sure you want the post to go out. If not sure just ‘save as draft’ and publish later when you are ready.
Can i correct mistakes in posts
No, this is a one way process. Think of it as an email campaign, once is goes out mistakes can’t be corrected. Be sure before you publish!
Can people read these posts on the front end like any other post?
Yes, all ‘Syndication Posts’ published on your site. All client copies of posts are automatically marked with a Canonical tag pointing back to the original post on your site.
What happens when i delete a post?
Once deleted a post will no longer be pushed to clients. If a client already has a copy of this post it will remain live on their site along with any images.
Is the content served from my WordPress install?
No, the import process is exactly that. A complete import of posts, categories, tags, and images for each post pushed to a client. So each client has their very own copy of each post inside their WordPress database.
What happens if a push goes wrong?
Sometimes web servers crash or are slow to respond.
If your site cannot reach a client during a push it will send you and email with the account name and error details. It will also send your client and email with instructions on how to manually start a content pull from their wordpress admin area.
Bugfix for canonical pretty permalinks. Improved push speed on post publish.
1.0.4
