Do I need a paid Postiz account?

How does this differ from other auto posting plugins?

Unlike plugins that post directly to social networks, we integrate with Postiz’s smart scheduling system. This provides several advantages:

Spam Prevention – Postiz spaces posts naturally to avoid social media penalties
Flexible Scheduling – Control when posts publish with Postiz’s schedule settings
API Reliability – Postiz handles all social network API complexities and updates
Cross-Platform Management – Manage all networks from Postiz’s unified dashboard

Can I customize the social media message for each post?

Yes. Use template tags to dynamically build messages:

• {title} – Post title
• {excerpt} – Post excerpt
• {content} – Post content
• {url} – Post URL
• {date} – Publication date
• {author} – Author name
• {tags} – Post tags as hashtags
• {categories} – Categories as hashtags

Pro version allows different templates per social network and per post type.

Can I schedule posts to publish at specific times?

Posts are added to your Postiz queue, which publishes according to your Postiz schedule. You control the schedule within your Postiz dashboard.

Pro version adds options to post immediately, add to start/end of queue, or schedule for specific date/time.

Will this work with the Gutenberg block editor?

Yes. The plugin is fully compatible with Gutenberg (WordPress block editor), Classic Editor, and most page builders including Elementor, Divi, and Beaver Builder.

Does this work with scheduled WordPress posts?

What happens if my Postiz queue is full?

You’ll see an error in the plugin log indicating the queue is full. Solutions:

Can I test without actually posting to social media?

Yes. Enable “Test Mode” in General Settings. This logs what would be sent to Postiz without actually creating posts. Perfect for testing your message templates and settings.
