But it gives an error anytime the post contains an image, and it fails to post even if you save the post as a draft first. This causes the post to publish to the source Wordpress site with no image and nothing gets posted to the target Wordpress site. i had to disable the addon so I could post again since all my posts contain an image. The error does not happen if it’s just a text-only post. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d931578fdf5cdc461627b3f89142c47f4575a73d6dc6a5cba37f8c9f2f71de4e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[high memory usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-memory-usage-7/)󠁿 [wulfieb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wulfieb/) September 26, 2022 Hi it seems that thi splugin is rquiring a lot of memory. In fact, when loading, my site used more than 2GB RAM with 98% by this plugin alone. This is unusual. I wonder, did I do anything wrong when installing? Any known bugs or settings? Any adcvise or suggestions? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3244801afc25e876ce2ac6e0e16b11954a320bd176ba50ced55ed9745bbf2ba3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Wonderful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wonderful-370/)󠁿 [catlvrr](https://profiles.wordpress.org/catlvrr/) January 2, 2017 1 reply This plugin does exactly what I had been looking for. I came across this plugin by delving into the BYOC project, which was a breeze to set up. For Wordpress it works without any issues and I’m thankful I don’t have to do the manual work anymore. Great job 🙂 and thank you. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/da680d4dbbb470431dc8ada3d1659729ddca56168a064666f7c20d4f98185696? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Beware of Meitar and his plugin.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beware-of-meitar-and-his-plugin/)󠁿 [samuel641](https://profiles.wordpress.org/samuel641/) September 3, 2016 2 replies This plugin is dangerous, and can and likely will destroy your website. The cleanup required after uninstalling this flaming turd is about forty five to 50 minutes, if it makes it through three posts or so. Your mileage may vary, but for me, it generated between 150 and 200 junk copies of posts I had already made. It’s remarkably bad. Not just the usual unfinished bad, but intentionally dangerous, and misleading bad. Meitar, was considerate and well mannered when I contacted him about the issue on Github. He called me crazy for thinking their was a problem, called me an idiot no less than three times; and then, he offered some truly amusing unsolicited professional advice. The term, “jumping down your throat,” doesn’t really cut it here. Maitar has some truly unresolved daddy issues that really show through both in his work, and conversations. When I attempted to follow up, and commend him on his comedy, I found myself blocked. Expect similar results if you’re in the mood for earnestly reporting a problem to this character. He’s very thin skinned, and will not stand for anything but a pat on the head for a job well done. After viewing his Github profile, where he’s selling his own brand of troll politics for unknown reasons, it’s not hard to understand why. This plugin is not designed to work. It’s designed for the trollish amusement of its author. He likes screwing up people’s sites. It’s what he’s doing. It’s why he exists. Anyone saying anything kind about this thing is either not seriously using it, or lying. That’s my opinion about this monstrosity. Do with it as you will. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bc10e1e0a77e20adf1d6fad32de5c66a11064716d7e50eb1d09f299dfd60cd84? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-3602/)󠁿 [Nguyễn Việt Anh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alexviean/) September 3, 2016 1 reply It works like a charm ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/81fe924a028c8bac193b7a802e57a071fa3657cbfb7b9862ff43a88403478396? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good plugin, but too limited for what I need](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-but-too-limited-for-what-i-need/)󠁿 [mgincnj](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mgincnj/) September 3, 2016 1 reply First of all, congrats to the developer for taking this on. I did a thorough search, and right now, this is the only available option I could find (some other plugins which used to do this are no longer supported). I was looking for something that would cross post from one self-hosted blog to another. Cross Post will do this if the destination blog is attached to WordPress.com via Jet Pack, and the JSON API is enabled. There are explicit instructions on how to set this up in the Forum, and if you follow them, it’s fairly straight forward. That said, after a thorough investigation, I decided I couldn’t use Cross Post. The basic problem is that my sites all use featured images, and all use custom fields. Cross-posting a post without that information is next to useless for me, and that’s what happens. That was the killer. Another issue, which I could have worked around, but was annoying, is the inflexibility of automatic cross posting. I was looking to cross post posts from a city-wide database to another site that focused on a particular neighborhood. Cross Post uses only Categories to decide whether to ignore or cross post something. Given the way my taxonomy was set up, there was no convenient way to manage this. It needs to allow cross posting by tags, or by a custom taxonomy, as well as categories. Right now, it appears the category selection can only block whether a post gets cross posted. There needs to be an affirmative option, such as “only post if it’s tagged ‘crosspost'”. If you use basic Posts without additional custom data, this is potentially a very useful plugin. If you use custom fields, taxonomies, and featured images, it’s probably too limited. I hope the developer continues to enhance this product, because I’d love to be able to use it.
