A Wordpress widget to import the rss feed from a Mastodon account and format it correctly so it can be displayed in Wordpress.
This is the first release of the Wordpress plugin.
It's very basic.
-
Install by uploading as you would any other wordpress plugin. You can upload the plugin in zipped format and Wordpress should deal with it fine.
-
Activate plugin
-
Go to Appearance->Widgets
-
Add widget to the preferred location. It's called Mastodon RSS Widget (you'll probably need to search for it). One of the Sidebars is nice.
-
In the widget settings include the RSS feed from Mastodon (it needs to be from Mastodon otherwise it won't work). It should look something like https://mastodon.instance/@username.rss. Change the details to match your chosen Mastodon account then add .rss at the end (no space between the username and .rss).
Note: Every Mastodon account already has a rss feed. You don't need to activate it for this to work.

Update
-
It works! (hopefully).
Please update from the Pre-Release. There were some potential security flaws that I've remedied in this version.
