What is Broadcast?

Modified on Mon, 10 Feb at 4:46 PM

Broadcast is a plugin used by Big Tomato Tech to automatically share content by multiposting between websites that are on the same WordPress network. You can syndicate posts/pages/events and other items in the WordPress ecosystem among related websites in your affiliate group, such as from a NAMI State Affiliate to its local chapters. A few examples are:

  • State Affiliates pushing news posts to their Local chapters; 
  • Local NAMI Affiliates allowing their events to be pulled into their State Affiliate's calendar; 
  • A useful popup created by a local affiliate can be shared to all affiliates (state and local) within the same group. 
  • A creative page layout template can be shared and then copied to each site, where it can be updated independently by each affiliate.
  • The State Affiliate can share a page that will also update sub sites whenever they update the page; and lock the page so it cannot be updated independently. 

Each of these situations has many options for automatic syncing, and protections. 


The graphic below shows how a State affiliate's Donate page can be broadcasted and linked for certain sub sites, but not for others.
