It also supports standalone scheduled posts for full control over timing and content. #### Features * **Auto-Post on Publish**: Automatically push new WordPress posts to all connected platforms after a configurable delay (default 2 minutes) * **Per-Platform Autoposting Toggle**: Choose which connected platforms receive auto-posts on the Settings page * **Multi-Platform Support**: Post to X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, and Bluesky * **Link Previews with Thumbnails**: LinkedIn and Bluesky posts include OG thumbnail images * **Standalone Scheduled Posts**: Create posts directly from the Schedule page — no WP Post required * **Flexible Scheduling**: Schedule standalone posts at a specific date and time * **Custom Content**: Full control over post content for each platform (prefix, hashtags per platform) * **Dry Run Mode**: Preview what would be posted without actually publishing * **Clean Admin Interface**: Tabbed settings page with unified Log view * **Comprehensive Logging**: Track all posting attempts, errors, and developer- level API details * **Multiple Auth Methods**: OAuth 2.0 (X, LinkedIn, Facebook), OAuth 1.0a legacy( X fallback), App Password (Bluesky) ### Configuration #### X (Twitter) — OAuth 2.0 PKCE 1. Go to Socync > Connections 2. Click “Connect” for X 3. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret (Confidential Client with Read+Write + ` offline.access` scopes) 4. Click “Authorize” and log in with your X account **Legacy OAuth 1.0a fallback**: If you previously configured OAuth 1.0a credentials( API Key/Secret + Access Token/Secret), they continue to work. The provider auto- detects which auth mode to use based on stored credentials. #### LinkedIn — OAuth 2.0 1. Go to Socync > Connections 2. Click “Connect” for LinkedIn 3. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret 4. Authorize the application via the OAuth redirect (redirects back to `admin-post. php?action=socync_oauth_callback_linkedin`) #### Facebook — OAuth 2.0 1. Go to Socync > Connections 2. Click “Connect” for Facebook 3. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret 4. Authorize the application via the OAuth redirect, then select a Facebook Page to post as #### Bluesky — App Password 1. Go to Socync > Connections 2. Click “Connect” for Bluesky 3. Enter your Bluesky handle/email and an App Password (generate one at Settings > App Passwords in Bluesky) 4. Save credentials (no OAuth redirect) ### External services Socync sends data to the following third-party services so it can publish content to your connected accounts. Data is only transmitted when you connect an account or publish a post (automatically when a WordPress post is published, or from the Schedule page). The plugin never shares this data with anyone else. #### X (Twitter) Socync publishes your post text (title, permalink, and any configured prefix/hashtags) to your X account using the X API v2. During connection it performs an OAuth 2.0 authorization flow and stores/refreshes the access token. * Data sent: your X OAuth credentials (client ID, client secret, access/refresh tokens) and the post text you publish. * When: when you connect your X account and when you publish a WordPress post or a scheduled post to X. * X Terms of Service: https://x.com/en/tos * X Privacy Policy: https://x.com/en/privacy #### LinkedIn Socync publishes your post text (and optionally a thumbnail image) to your LinkedIn profile or Page using the LinkedIn Posts API and Images API. During connection it performs an OAuth 2.0 authorization flow and stores/refreshes the access token. * Data sent: your LinkedIn OAuth credentials, the post text you publish, and any thumbnail image you attach. * When: when you connect your LinkedIn account and when you publish a WordPress post or a scheduled post to LinkedIn. * LinkedIn User Agreement: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement * LinkedIn Privacy Policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy #### Facebook (Meta) Socync publishes your post text (and optionally a thumbnail image) to your selected Facebook Page or personal timeline using the Facebook Graph API. During connection it performs an OAuth 2.0 authorization flow and stores/refreshes the access and Page tokens. * Data sent: your Facebook app/Page credentials (app secret, access and Page tokens), the post text you publish, and any thumbnail image you attach. * When: when you connect your Facebook account and when you publish a WordPress post or a scheduled post to Facebook. * Meta Platform Terms: https://developers.facebook.com/terms/dfc_platform_terms/ * Meta Developer Policy: https://developers.facebook.com/devpolicy/ * Meta Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/ #### Bluesky Socync authenticates using your Bluesky handle/email and an App Password (via the AT Protocol session API) and publishes your post text (and optionally a thumbnail image) to your Bluesky account. * Data sent: your Bluesky identifier (handle or email), your App Password (for authentication only), the post text you publish, and any thumbnail image you attach. * When: when you connect your Bluesky account and when you publish a WordPress post or a scheduled post to Bluesky. * Bluesky Terms of Service: https://bsky.social/about/support/tos * Bluesky Privacy Policy: https://bsky.social/about/support/privacy-policy ### Usage #### Auto-Posting on Publish When you publish a new WordPress post, Socync automatically enqueues it for delivery to all platforms enabled in **Socync > Settings > Autoposting**. The post is sent after a configurable delay (default 2 minutes, set on the Settings page). Content format: `{prefix}: {title} {permalink} {hashtags}` (all on one line). Configure per-platform prefix and hashtags on the Connections page. Toggle autoposting per platform on the Settings page. #### Creating a Scheduled Post 1. Go to Socync > Schedule 2. Click “Add New Scheduled Post” 3. Enter the post content and select the platforms to post to 4. Set the desired date and time 5. Save — the post will be published automatically when the time arrives #### Viewing Logs 1. Go to Socync > Log 2. View all posting attempts, their status, and any errors ## Screenshots [⌊Socync Connections page with OAuth setup for X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, and Bluesky⌉⌊Socync Connections page with OAuth setup for X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, and Bluesky⌉[ Socync Connections page with OAuth setup for X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, and Bluesky [⌊Scheduled posts management interface with status indicators⌉⌊Scheduled posts management interface with status indicators⌉[ Scheduled posts management interface with status indicators [⌊Log viewer with platform filter and detailed error reporting⌉⌊Log viewer with platform filter and detailed error reporting⌉[ Log viewer with platform filter and detailed error reporting [⌊Socync Settings page⌉⌊Socync Settings page⌉[ Socync Settings page ## Installation 1.
