🚀 WP-XPub v1.0.0 – A Clean Architecture Approach to Multi-Channel Publishing in WordPress

#wordpress #php #psr #cleanarchitecture

We’re proud to release WP-XPub v1.0.0, a modern, maintainable WordPress plugin designed for structured multi-channel publishing — built from the ground up with hexagonal architecture, PSR standards, and clean separation of concerns.

🎯 What is WP-XPub?

WP-XPub is a flexible auto-publisher framework for WordPress that allows you to push content to multiple external platforms (e.g., Mastodon, LinkedIn, custom APIs) from within your WordPress environment. It’s not another social media plugin — it’s a system designed for:

High modularity
Testability and long-term maintainability
Minimal WordPress coupling
Extensible publisher definitions

💡 Why Not in the WordPress Plugin Directory?

⚠️ WP-XPub is not listed on WordPress.org — and that’s by design.

The WordPress plugin directory enforces legacy practices that actively hinder modern software architecture. This includes:

Tight coupling through functions.php
Global procedural design
Prohibition of namespaced class autoloading (e.g., via Composer)
Literal-only i18n strings, which break abstraction and prevent layered translation systems
Constraints that prevent effective testing or mocking

We respect the ecosystem — but we choose to build for developers who care about code quality, clarity, and architecture first.
