# 🤖 WordPress Discord Post Integration
This project is an example of an integration used to automatically share new blog posts published on your WordPress site in a Discord channel. This way, every new post is automatically sent to the Discord channel you specify, allowing your followers to access the latest content instantly.
## 📜 Prerequisites
To use this integration, you need the following requirements:
- **WordPress**: This project is designed to work on a WordPress site. You should have an up-to-date version of WordPress.
- **Discord Account**: You need a Discord account to implement the integration. You also need a Discord server where you want the messages to appear.
- **Web Server**: Your WordPress site needs to be hosted on a web server.
## 📁 Creating a Discord Webhook
In Discord, you need to create a webhook to automatically share your WordPress posts. The webhook provides a URL to send messages to your Discord server. Here are the steps to create a webhook:
1. **Log in to Discord Server**: Open your Discord application and select the relevant server.
2. **Create Webhook**: Go to the server settings, click on the "Integrations" tab, and select "Create Webhook".
3. **Copy the Webhook URL**: Copy the URL provided for the created webhook. This URL will be used in the WordPress integration code.
## 📕 WordPress Integration
After creating your Discord webhook, you can use it to share posts on your WordPress site. Follow these steps to implement the integration:
1. **Update the functions.php File**: Add the following code to the `functions.php` file in your WordPress theme files.
## 📗 Code for functions.php
Below is an example PHP code that will automatically send new posts to your Discord channel in WordPress. This code integrates WordPress post submissions to Discord.
```php
$title,
"url" => $link,
"description" => $content,
"color" => hexdec("7289da"), //Color code you want in the embed
"footer" => array(
"text" => "example.com is subject to copyright",
),
"image" => array(
"url" => $image_url,
),
"author" => array(
"name" => $author,
"icon_url" => $author_avatar,
),
"timestamp" => $date,
);
$data = array(
"content" => "New Blog Post Published! @everyone",
"embeds" => array($embed),
);
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-type: application/json\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => json_encode($data),
),
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents($webhook_url, false, $context);
if ($result === FALSE) {
error_log('An error occurred while sending the Discord webhook.');
}
}
function discord_webhook_new_post($post_ID, $post) {
// Return if already notified
if (get_post_meta($post_ID, '_discord_notified', true)) {
return;
}
// Run only for published posts
if ($post->post_status !== 'publish' || $post->post_type !== 'post') {
return;
}
$webhook_url = 'WEBHOOK_URL';
$title = get_the_title($post_ID);
$author = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $post->post_author);
$author_avatar = get_avatar_url($post->post_author);
$date = get_the_date('c', $post_ID);
$content = wp_trim_words(get_the_content(null, false, $post_ID), 40, '...');
$link = get_permalink($post_ID);
$image_url = '';
if (has_post_thumbnail($post_ID)) {
$image_url = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post_ID);
}
send_to_discord($title, $author, $date, $content, $link, $image_url, $webhook_url, $author_avatar);
update_post_meta($post_ID, '_discord_notified', true);
}
function on_save_post($post_ID, $post, $update) {
// Run only for published posts
if ($post->post_status === 'publish' && $post->post_type === 'post') {
// Add a short delay to ensure the image is fully loaded
wp_schedule_single_event(time() + 5, 'send_to_discord_event', array($post_ID, $post));
}
}
add_action('send_to_discord_event', 'discord_webhook_new_post', 10, 2);
add_action('save_post', 'on_save_post', 10, 3);
```
2. **Update the Webhook URL:**
- Replace `YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL` with the webhook URL you created.
## 📕 Sending a Message
You are now ready to send messages! You can use the `send_to_discord` function to send instant messages to your Discord channel from anywhere.
```php
send_to_discord($title, $author, $date, $content, $link, $image_url, $webhook_url, $author_avatar);
```
## Example Post on Discord
## 📕 Considerations
**Security**: Do not share your webhook URL with anyone.
**Debugging**: If the message does not send, check your curl settings and webhook URL. For more support, you can join our Discord server.
