Title: IFTTT and wordpress problem Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # IFTTT and wordpress problem * [JimHeskett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimheskett/) * (@jimheskett) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-and-wordpress-problem/) * I have several wordpress to X recipes set up in IFTTT. some work fine, like wordpress to facebook. new post (non-category specific) = new status update on FB * what DOES NOT work is any recipe that requires a specific wordpress category or tag as a trigger. This worked fine until a couple months ago, and it stopped working. * for example, wordpress post in category “podcast” post status update to specific twitter account. doens’t work. * Yes, I’ve disconnected and reconnected all my IFTTT channels, tried other recipes, same result. IFTTT support is no help. * Did something change with wordpress cats or tags in the last couple months to break this? Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Moderator [Marius L.

Some ifttt recepes can talk to wordpress. it’s only the ones involving categories or tags * Moderator [Marius L.

One of the recipes I’ve tried (of several) is Recipe ID 27157590. It’s any recipe that specifically involves categories/tags. * Moderator [Marius L.

MY WP is 4.3.1 XML-RPC is enabled by default. I have seen many problems on the net about this without a solution. Any idea’s? My hosting is Bluehost _______________________________________________________________________ Feed Complete Trigger Fields step 3 of 7 New feed item * Feed Feed URL **Not a valid feed url, missing feed title** * [http://isaan-news.services-thai.com/?feed=rss2](http://isaan-news.services-thai.com/?feed=rss2) for feed URL requirements, visit the help page Create Trigger * Moderator [Marius L. J.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clorith/) * (@clorith) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-and-wordpress-problem/#post-6668279) * @dennis-thailand Please create your own topic as your problem isn’t related to what we are discussing here at all I’m afraid 🙂 * [yeseanul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yeseanul/) * (@yeseanul) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-and-wordpress-problem/#post-6668340) * Exactly same problem here. Can’t make publishing to a specific WP category to fire a trigger. But I’m able to post to WP in a specific category (as action). So, at leased in my case, the category WP problem is specific to triggers. * [su1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/su1/) * (@su1) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-and-wordpress-problem/#post-8264262) * were you able to solve this problem in the end? I think I have the same one. * [Denis-thailand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denis-thailand/) * (@denis-thailand) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-and-wordpress-problem/#post-8297944) * Yes I use POST to FB, Linkedin Plugin etc don’t use IFTTT with WP.
