It is no longer possible for me to maintain the development of this plugin and as it has been found not to work with the more recent iPhoto releases, I have decided to make it available for free.

What is WordpressExport?

WordpressExport is a plugin written for Apple's iPhoto which automates the process of getting your photos onto your Wordpress blog.

All you have to do is select your photos from within iPhoto and then fill in your blog login details on the WordpressExport panel. All your selected photos will then be uploaded and resized for you and a thumbnail gallery will be posted to your blog.

How do I use WordpressExport?

WordpressExport operates in exactly the same way that all other iPhoto plugins do, a brief user guide follows:

1. Download and install

The installer places the WordpressExport inside your iPhoto bundle alongside all other installed plugins. This allows iPhoto to find the plugin for immediate use.

2. Open iPhoto

Next open iPhoto as you would normally, from the dock for example, and select the photos you wish to upload to your Wordpress blog.

3. Export

You must now tell iPhoto that you wish to export the selected images. In iPhoto 5 this is done from the menus:

Share > Export

In iPhoto 6 this is done from the menus:

File > Export

Using either version you can use the shortcut APPLE+SHIFT+E. You will now be presented with the standard iPhoto export menu, from which you should select the 'WordpressExport' tab. This should look like this:

WordpressExport Menu

From this menu fill in the address of your blog and the username/password so that files can be uploaded an a post created. This stage also lets you dictate the size of both the full size and thumbnail images.

4. Sit back and relax

Once your happy, press export and watch the progress of the batch upload. Once all files have been uploaded you simply have to log into your Wordpress blog to make any changes to the draft post that was created and publish.

Why should I register?

Registration is currently handled manually so please be patient, I will get back to you! An automated system will be put in place ASAP. Please note that the product key will be sent to the paypal email you register with, unless told otherwise.

When you register you will be able to upload as many images in one go as you wish. In the unregistered version only 4 images may be uploaded per post.
