Another holiday, another WordPress plugin. This time EverPress is an automatic RSS posting plugin primarily designed to integrate with the information capturing service, Evernote. This plugin allows Evernote users to automatic post their shared notebooks to WordPress.
Supported features:
- Post scheduling – by day, week or month, and time of day
- Post settings – set the author, category, status (draft, public and private) and tags
- NEW Multiple notebooks – additional notebooks can be added and removed
[The code used in EverPress is based on the Shared Items Post developed by Craig Fifield at Google Tutor]
You can download EverPress here

Changes:
1.0.1 – minor bug fix to detect edited notes
1.0 – added support for multiple Evernote notebooks
0.9.1 – minor fix to allow direct publishing of Evernote items and feature update to link to appended posts.
0.9 – major update. Evernote changed their website code for shared notebooks which broke the plugin. This update fixes the problem and includes some new features to the admin control panel
0.8.2 – minor update to to fix problem with updating posts from Evernote feed
0.8.1 – Initial Release
Here’s (old) demonstration of setting up the plugin:
Loading...
I can’t seem to get Everpress to work on my WordPress blog. I followed the video procedure, but can’t get the data to show up.
I re-installed the plugin. No luck.
My site is being hosted on 1&1. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? I am certain the Everpress notebook is shared.
I’m also having problems to get Everpress working on my WordPress blog. The video tutorial is of poor quality and I don’t know what code to use in the Evernote snippet. I would very much like to use this plugin, but I need some more help, so please ….
Great idea but doesn’t work for me either. Possibly problem with Evernote RSS feeds? Bounced through feedburner and wp-omatic and you get a partial import (http://dnwallace.com/blog/category/evernote/). A single complete plugin would be great.
Ahh – Evernote appear to have changed the code for shared notebooks which broke the plugin :-(
[The plugin used to sniff out RSS feeds from the page but Evernote have moved to iframes which has screwed it up]
I’ve burnt some of the midnight oil and come up with a fix which is available via the download link above. (I’ve also redone the video demonstration – partly to try and improve clarity but also to reflect other changes with the Evernote site)
Great plug-in.
But i was wondering, if is possible to edit a “set page”in Post settings.
I hope you can work this out.
Great Work.

You can edit notes pulled from Evernote in WordPress as you would for normal posts. Unfortunately edited notes aren’t pushed back to Evernote, but this would theoretically be possible using Evernote’s API. The next holiday I get I’ll look into it (unless someone else would like to add to the current code ;-)
Just tried it with WordPress 2.9.1 (v0.9.1 of the plugin) and it worked. Thank you!
Hi,
I haven´t test your plugin yet but it looks interesting, thanx for develop. Before activate, it´s posible to share more than one notebook?
Happy new year! ;)
Pancho.
Hi pancho – currently it only takes one notebook but it makes sense that it can handle multiple. Should be able to update in the next couple of days. More feature requests gratefully received.
:)

As of version 1.0 Everpress now supports multiple notebooks ;)
Good news – this is a feature I expected to be asking for down the road!
Andrew,
@Andrew I thought this would be a good feature for http://herald.wandernote.com/ ;)
hey!; much thanx! for upgrade the plugin, I will try this affternoon :D
When I enable the pluggin, my whole site locks up and doesn’t load. I’m using the Chris Parillo theme. It just spins and spins.
@Cesar – sorry to hear you are having problems. What version of WordPress are using?
I’m using Version 2.9.1 @Martin
@Cesar I think its a problem with Chris Parillo WicketPixie theme. (I’ve only had a quick look at their code but I think they are not checking that the SimplePie add-on has already been loaded)
Martin, is there anyway around this? I would really love to use your plugin since I utilize evernote through my iPhone.
The easiest way is to comment out lines 39 and 40 of everpress.php (see below) before activating the plugin:
// if(! class_exists('SimplePie'))// require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/simplepie.php');
[The actual problem is WicketPixie:
All should be:
if(! class_exists('SimplePie')) require_once(SIMPLEPIEPATH);and functions.php line 14 should be:
if(! class_exists('SimplePie')) define(SIMPLEPIEPATH,ABSPATH.'wp-includes/class-simplepie.php');So how would I go about incorporating this as a feed in my sidebar?
Currently It doesn’t seem to even be publishing to my blog, but this isnt really what Im after anyway. It would be great to appear as a sidebar feed, much like my Flickr and Twitter feeds.
Any ideas?
Thanks
@JC You could just use the existing WP RSS widget. You can just enter your public notebook url and the widget will automatically pull the RSS (can can have a full post or just a snippet). If you want something more graphical I’m sure there are other RSS widget plugins or web services you could use.

Hmm, I can’t get this working on my site.
No new posts (or drafts really) are made, no matter how much I move around and create new posts in the public notebook.
Well. I kinda found the problem. I guess the “modification date” of the note, which is the one evernote pushed out on the RSS, need to be after the last update time, which I understand is the best way to check for new updates, but at the same time it poses a problem for me.
Anyway, it works as “intended” now.
Even though I realize that evernote/everpress is not the way to go for me (as evernote puts very little info out on the RSS, info that I actually would have liked to have, like creation date and tags…)
Quick question.
Obviously it pulls the RSS feed out. Therefore you get a thumbnail.
Is there anyway to pull the whole of the notes (i.e. big images rather than just the thumb?) Or am i missing something basic?
Much appreciate the plugin ether way.
@Tom Afraid you’ve got it spot on, limited by what the rss returns. Evernote do have an API which would possibly allow direct access to full notes, but unfortunately this is beyond my programming abilities.

This plug-in has a contradiction：
I select option Private in Post Status .Of course ,it’ll be.
But it makes no sense,because it has been PUBLIC in Evernote!
Maybe you can improve it to be compatiable with the option Share with individuals in Evernote.
@ikai – very good point ;-)
keep me posted plz,it’ll be a good pulgin
Thanks for the plugin. Work perfectly on one of my blog. Thanks
No evernote posts are showing up in 2.9.2
But the feed is added in the settings
How about a way to grab your evernote notebook without having to make it public?
@Alexander – Don’t think this is currently possible. You can however use ‘security by obscurity’. By using an obscure notebook name and not advertising the url anywhere it should remain hidden to the masses. The downside being if someone works out the name they will be able to find it.
Hi,
The following error shows when I install the plugin in WordPress 2.9.2. :
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in */wp-content/plugins/everpress/everpress.php on line 199
Any hints?
Sounds great… but does it transfer/post images you insert into Evernote into the blog please? Thanks
Currently no, but knowing how to cache images now I should be able to do this on the next version
Is there anyway to do a daily digest post ie with delicoius like this:
http://tbohen.com/?p=203
Right now, every link I add to my shared notebook shows up as a seperate post:
http://tbohen.com/?cat=7
Thanks!
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /wp-content/plugins/everpress/everpress.php on line 199
any help?
ya i get the same thing.. prolly something to do with wordpress..
any update coming for wordpress 3.0?
Just installed WP3 myself and plugin installed fine – need to have a look again at where the problem might be
I was having problems getting EverPress to work with WordPress 3.0.1. Turns out I had to edit the following to get it to work:
BEFORE:
$url = “http://www.evernote.com/shard/”.$m[1][1].”/pub/”.$m[1][2].”/”.$m[1][3].”/”.$m[1][4].”/rss.jsp?max=25&sort=2&search=”;
AFTER
$url = “feed://www.evernote.com/shard/”.$m[1][1].”/pub/”.$m[1][2].”/”.$m[1][3].”/”.$m[1][4].”/rss.jsp?max=25&sort=2&search=”;
Works fine now.
Thanks @Kashaan (really need to update this plugin)
i updated that line, and i got an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in …/public_html/wp-content/plugins/everpress/everpress.php on line 165
looks like Kashaan’s fix should work (basically changes http to feed)
r u gunna update today? for some reason i cant get it to work still..
planning on fixing and enhancing tonight
sweet.. also, this would be an awesome plugin for joomla if you ever give it some thought..
Bizzar v1.0.1 of the plugin in working fine for me in WP3.0 without modifying line 165??? Wonder if it is a PHP version problem?
ya i dunno.. but ive actually never gotten this plugin working(have only tried on 3.0 and 3.0.1).. looks nice tho! lol
how far do you get?
well i used to get this as stated above:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /wp-content/plugins/everpress/everpress.php on line 199
any help?
when i first installed.. but now that ive edited that line 165 or whatever i cant activate the plugin anymore, even after i went back and set it to what it origionally was..
I tried Kashaan fix but i am still getting:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /nfs/c02/h12/mnt/25897/domains/houseofrosenmeyer.com/html/wp-content/plugins/everpress/everpress.php on line 165
