## Description

Sharelumo – Share to X helps you reuse your WordPress posts on X (formerly Twitter)
without an X API key or an external scheduling service.

It prepares the article title, public link, an optional message, optional excerpt,
and hashtags. One button opens X’s post composer with the text filled in. When publishing
a new article, an optional browser tab can prepare the X composer immediately after
WordPress confirms publication. You always review and confirm the final post on 
X.

Features:
 * Dedicated panel in the WordPress block editor and meta box in the classic
editor. * Optional introductory message and excerpt, with an automatic article-body
fallback when the manual excerpt is blank. * Publish-time X composer handoff, with
a visible after-publish share button if the browser blocks the tab. * Browser pop-
up settings may prevent automatic tab opening; X’s final Post action is always manual.*
Editable hashtags (initially suggested from existing post tags). * Editable local
post preview, reset option, and approximate X-length indicator. * One-click open
of the X composer, plus copy-to-clipboard. * ‘Share to X’ quick link from the Posts
list for published articles. * Restricts one-click sharing to published articles
with a public URL. * No credentials, X API, external scheduling service, tracker,
or automatic posting to X. * Display-language settings with automatic WordPress 
site-language detection and manual language selection. Bundled translations cover
Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Simplified
Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian and Indonesian, in addition to the English
interface.

#### 日本語

 * 記事タイトル・公開URL・ハッシュタグ入りの投稿文を作成。

 * 記事公開時にXの投稿画面を開くオプション。開けない場合も公開後の案内ボタンから
   Xへ進めます。

### Language settings

Open Settings from the plugin entry on the Plugins screen, or go to Settings > Sharelumo–
Share to X. Choose Automatic to follow the WordPress site language, or select a 
language explicitly. Save changes and reload any open article editor tabs. This 
site-wide setting changes only Sharelumo’s interface; it does not translate article
content, sharing text, WordPress itself or the X website. Translations for all languages
in the selector are included in this ZIP, so no separate language-pack download 
is required. Installed WordPress.org translations are also supported, with bundled
translations filling missing strings. Unsupported languages fall back to English.

#### 表示言語の設定

プラグイン一覧の「設定」、または「設定  Sharelumo – Share to X」から表示言語を選
べます。初期設定の「自動」はWordPressのサイト言語に合わせます。保存後、開いている
記事編集画面を再読み込みしてください。変更されるのはSharelumoの画面表示だけで、記事
本文や投稿文、WordPress本体、Xのサイトは翻訳されません。選択欄にある全言語の翻訳
をZIPに同梱しているため、翻訳パックの追加ダウンロードは不要です。英語・日本語・スペイン
語・フランス語・ドイツ語・イタリア語・ポルトガル語（ブラジル）・韓国語・中国語（
簡体字／繁体字）・ロシア語・インドネシア語に対応しています。インストール済みのWordPress.
org翻訳にも対応し、不足する文言は同梱翻訳で補います。未対応の言語は英語で表示します。

### External services

This plugin uses the X (formerly Twitter) web intent service at https://twitter.
com/intent/tweet to open a composer. Your browser sends the composed text, article
title, public URL, and any message, excerpt or hashtags you include to X when you
click a share action, or after publication if you explicitly enable the publish-
time option. That option is off by default for each editor session. X may require
you to sign in. The plugin never collects your X password, and X requires you to
confirm the final post.

X is a third-party service. This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by X 
Corp.

#### 外部サービスについて

Xの投稿画面を開く際、投稿文・記事タイトル・公開URL・追加した紹介文・抜粋・ハッシュ
タグがブラウザからXへ送信されます。公開時に開く機能は編集画面を開くたびに初期状態
ではオフで、ご自身でオンにした場合のみ動作します。Xへのログインと最後の投稿操作は
X上で行います。予約公開の時刻にバックグラウンドでXへ投稿する機能はありません。

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP using Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, or extract it to`/
    wp-content/plugins/sharelumo-share-to-x/`.
 2. Activate Sharelumo – Share to X.
 3. Open a new or published Post and find the Sharelumo – Share to X panel.
 4. For a new article, enable the publish-time option (off by default), then use the
    WordPress Publish button. For an existing published article, click Open X composer.
 5. Review and press Post on X. If your browser blocks the automatic tab, use the after-
    publish button.

## FAQ

### Does the free plugin post automatically?

No. It can open the X composer after WordPress finishes publishing, but you must
press Post on X yourself. This plugin does not implement unattended posting.

### Do I need an X API key or another service?

No. Manual sharing uses X’s web intent URL and does not require an API key, subscription,
or third-party integration.

### Can I share drafts or private posts?

No. Only published posts with a public permalink are eligible for one-click sharing.
For new articles, enable the publish-time option and use the WordPress Publish button.
The manual share button is enabled only after successful publication. Scheduled 
posts are not shared in the background when their scheduled time arrives.

### Does it store my X credentials or send article content to a tracking service?

The plugin does not store X credentials or include tracking. Opening the X composer
sends the prepared text and article URL to X through your browser. See External 
services below.
