No broker. * **Facebook Page** — one click “Connect” through the Sentrixa relay. No Facebook developer app on this site. * **Instagram** (professional account linked to a Facebook Page) — via the relay. Needs a featured image; the caption carries no clickable link. * **Threads** — via the relay (its own Meta OAuth). * **LinkedIn** (profile or organisation Page) — same, via the relay. Each post has a “Share to social” box: pick the networks, edit the message just for that post, hold it back, or push it out again by hand. ### How the message is built A template with tokens, set site-wide and overridable per network and per post: {title} {excerpt} {link} {hashtags} {tags} {author} {sitename} {date} {categories} The featured image is attached where the network supports it. On Facebook and LinkedIn the link becomes a preview card, so {link} is removed from their text automatically. Text is trimmed to each network’s length limit by shortening {excerpt} only — the link is always kept whole. ### Setup 1. **Settings Sentrixa Social.** 2. Under each network, tick “Enable”, add its credentials (or click Connect), then“ Test connection”. 3. Tick “On by default for new posts” for the networks that should be pre-selected on the editor. 4. Choose which post types and (optionally) categories are shared. **Mastodon token:** on your instance, Preferences Development New application, scopes `write:statuses` and `write:media`, then copy “Your access token”. **Bluesky app password:** Settings Privacy and security App passwords Add App Password. Use that, not your account password. **Facebook / LinkedIn:** click Connect and authorise. The Sentrixa relay (social- relay.sentrixa.co.uk) holds the reviewed platform apps and the OAuth tokens; this site only ever stores an opaque connection id, and never sees a Facebook or LinkedIn token. ### Sending Publishing does not wait on the social APIs — shares are queued and sent by WP- Cron within about a minute. If the site has WP-Cron disabled, use **Settings Social Activity “Send pending now”**, or wire the queue hook sxsoc_work_queue into real cron. Failed sends retry with backoff (1m, 5m, 20m, 1h, 3h) up to six attempts; everything is on the Activity screen. ### Security * Mastodon / Bluesky tokens are encrypted at rest (libsodium, key derived from the site’s auth salts). * Facebook / LinkedIn tokens never touch this site — they live on the relay. Requests to the relay are HMAC-signed with a per-site secret, so a leaked connection id alone cannot post. * Only users with `manage_options` can change settings or connect accounts. ### Filters * `sxsoc_relay_url` — override the relay base URL (staging). * `sxsoc_network_drivers` — add or remove network drivers. * `sxsoc_rendered_message` — final say over the outgoing text. ### External services Sentrixa Social sends your posts only to the networks YOU connect. Nothing is sent until you add an account and enable the network: * **Mastodon**: the instance address you enter (for example https://mastodon.social). Sent: the post text, link and optionally the image. Terms and privacy are those of your instance. * **Bluesky**: bsky.social (or the server you enter). Sent: the post text, link and optionally the image. https://bsky.social/about/support/tos and https://bsky. social/about/support/privacy-policy * **X (Twitter)**: api.x.com, using the API keys you create. Sent: the post text and link. https://x.com/en/tos and https://x.com/en/privacy ## Screenshots [⌊Settings: choose which posts are shared, the default message and your connected networks.⌉⌊Settings: choose which posts are shared, the default message and your connected networks.⌉[ Settings: choose which posts are shared, the default message and your connected networks.

Existing installs carry their settings, connected accounts, per-post choices, share log and pending queue over automatically. * Request input is now unslashed and sanitised everywhere it is read (settings screen, OAuth return, disconnect link, post box nonce). * Removed the unused translation-file loader (WordPress loads translations for hosted plugins itself). #### 1.3.0 * New shared Sentrixa site profile (Settings > Sentrixa site): business details, social profiles and Search Console / webmaster codes are entered once and shared by every Sentrixa plugin. On update, anything this plugin already held is copied into it; nothing is overwritten. #### 1.2.4 * Shared licence-state check (used by the other Sentrixa plugins). #### 1.2.3 * New Settings > Sentrixa licence page (Sentrixa edition) to enter and check the licence key. #### 1.2.2 * Sentrixa-edition updates now require the site’s Sentrixa licence key (constant SENTRIXA_LICENSE_KEY or option sentrixa_license_key). #### 1.2.1 * Code-quality pass for WordPress.org: database queries use identifier placeholders, WordPress file APIs, translator comments. Requires WordPress 6.2 or newer. Tested up to WordPress 7.1. #### 1.2.0 * Two editions from one source: the WordPress.org edition posts to Mastodon, Bluesky and X; the Sentrixa edition adds Facebook Pages, Instagram, Threads and LinkedIn through the Sentrixa relay, and the self-hosted updater. #### 1.1.1 * Bluesky: shrink the link-card thumbnail to fit atproto’s 1 MB blob limit (large PNG featured images were rejected). #### 1.1.0 * Added X (Twitter, pasted OAuth 1.0a keys), Instagram and Threads (both through the Sentrixa relay). Relay-vs-pasted is now a per-driver flag. #### 1.0.0 * First release. Mastodon, Bluesky, Facebook Pages, LinkedIn. Per-post control, templated messages, encrypted tokens, retrying queue, activity log. ## Meta * Version **1.3.1** * Last updated **7 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.2 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.4** * PHP version ** 8.0 or higher ** * Tags * [auto post](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/auto-post/)[automation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/automation/) [sharing](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/sharing/)[social media](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/social-media/) [social sharing](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/social-sharing/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sentrixa-social/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
