Overview
JournalPress is a WordPress plugin that enabled cross-posting to sites running LiveJournal Server, which in 2024 is basically Dreamwidth (and, ironically, not LiveJournal itself). It is based on the LJXP plugin, however it has a raft of new features including:
- support for multiple different mirror journals
- support for scheduled posts
- support for posts created from interfaces (i.e. XML-RPC, Atom)
- mood, music and location support
- per-post-per-journal userpic selection.
Version 1.2
- Minor bugfixes.
Version 1.1
- Updated instructions for using API keys.
Version 1.0
- Significant code rewrite, so make sure to check your settings and journals as some config items may not have migrated exactly as expected!
- Support for LJ-style cut plugins on the WordPress end removed. WordPress-native
