I want to sync post edits on two sites. Test environment, not production. Single direction (site A to site B, but not backwards).
Basically I edit post at my local test stack and same post (part of test content set) at remote server should be updated with identical copy of resulting content.
I know that XML-RPC server is implemented in WordPress… But WordPress itself is not a XML-RPC client and I have no idea how easy would it be to make it into one (I am usually wary of XML-anything 🙂
So should I go with XML-RPC and implement client functionality or that is not worth the time and I should build custom form or something at remote server to catch changes?
WordPress already has a XML-RPC client class implemented. It’s in the same file as the server part:
class-IXR.php
located inwp-includes
.The following code will generate a new post. You could wrap this in a function and attach it to the
save_post
/update_post
action hook. To sync both parts, you could check for the post-slug or submit the same post-id to the post in the second blog.
