Feature Request: Map WordPress post type to Activity Type #678
Comments
Thanks for filing that issue! I am totally with you and already prepared a PR for that, I am curious about your feedback: #661 |
Wow! 🤯 I guess we're on the same page about this. |
I like that you ask a lot, that means you care! 🫶 The current code uses So if I change it so that "Note" is the default and that "Article" is set specifically for articles only, it might work like you proposed? I think I like the idea, because as Thanks for your feedback! |
I think I'm pretty comfortable with that idea! That should work for most use-cases. |

What
Publications and blogs can make extensive use of different WordPress types: images, videos, podcasts, reviews, articles, and more. The problem is that the current ActivityPub plugin makes a big assumption that a blog's admin wants all of their stuff to appear as a singular uniform type to Fediverse Actors, even when specific WordPress types might be suited to something else.
We humbly request an extension of the existing customization feature to be applicable on a per-Wordpress-post-type basis.
Why
One struggle that we've had with the WordPress-ActivityPub plugin is that it currently takes an "all or nothing" approach for a blog.
We Distribute has multiple types of WordPress posts:
We're also looking at adopting short-form posts for quick news updates.
Here's the problem: all of these will only be rendered as one uniform Activity type. If we choose
Article
, even short-form content will be unreadable from platforms such as Mastodon. If we chooseNote
, that might cause problems for platforms specifically designed to post and readArticle
activities.It would be incredibly useful to extend the existing customization options for federation to be applied on a per-Wordpress-post-type basis.
How
The plugin could check to see which post types are currently enabled on a WordPress site, then provide customization options for what
Activity
type is used, and how the template is customized.This would allow content coming out of WordPress look more native to Fediverse platforms supporting particular types. From a UX perspective, maybe the Customization section would represent different tabs for each WordPress post type, and users could decide which activity type should be mapped.
