How to auto-post imported RSS feeds and blog posts on Social Media

The Blog2Social Auto-Poster makes it easy to distribute imported posts across your social media accounts. With its smart automation features, you can effortlessly share imported posts, including those created by other plugins or RSS feeds, to save time and expand your reach. This way, you can effortlessly share RSS automatically and keep your social media profiles active and engaging.

Simply share your imported WordPress content on the following social media networks:

• Facebook
• Google Business
• LinkedIn
• Telegram
  
• X / Twitter (X Add-on required)
  

Start by clicking on "Auto Posting" in Blog2Social.

Since Blog2Social works WordPress user based, please make sure that each WordPress user or author whose posts should be auto-posted:
1) is activated with your license key (How do I activate my license key?)
2) has the social media accounts connected (Blog2Social -> Networks)
3) has the auto-poster configured

To import blog posts via RSS feeds, you can use a specialized RSS plugin that adds the feed items as blog posts in your WordPress backend. Please ensure the plugin uses the WordPress hook "transition_post_status" when creating posts. This enables Blog2Social to detect new posts and share them automatically.

There are several settings available for imported posts. For instance, you can publish content immediately or set a delay. You can also filter by post types, categories, or taxonomies, as well as enable your custom Blog2Social post templates.

Depending on your Blog2Social license, the Auto-Poster supports up to 25 (Smart), 50 (Pro), or 100 (Business) social media posts per day.

These plugins save the posts from your selected RSS feeds as drafts or - depending on your settings - publish them on your WordPress blog as soon as they are imported. With the Blog2Social Auto-Poster, these imported blog posts are automatically shared on your social media channels as soon after they are published on your website, or with the selected time delay. 

Please note:

• The Auto-Poster settings for imported RSS-feeds will automatically share the imported posts that are published directly on your website. For RSS-feed posts that are imported as drafts the auto-posting will be triggered by the general auto-poster settings for new and updated posts from your website (See instructions above)
  
  
• In most RSS-feed plugins you can specify a WordPress author / user account for the RSS-feeds import. Make sure that the auto-poster settings are enabled in the same author account for which the RSS-import is specified. As Blog2Social operates user-based, the auto-poster settings can be configured individually for each user account.
  
  
• X (Twitter): Due to the new guidelines and cross-posting terms of Twitter, users are no longer allowed to post identical or substantially similar content to multiple accounts multiple duplicate updates on one account. The "Customize & Schedule" feature allows you to publish your posts on several Twitter accounts at the same time by varying the comment texts.
  
  
• Facebook profiles: Due to Facebook's new API guidelines, auto-posting on Facebook Profiles is restricted for social media tools or apps. With Facebook Instant Sharing, we provide you with an alternative option to share your posts with Blog2Social on your Facebook Profile. Auto-posts for Facebook Profiles are saved in the "Instant Sharing" tab in your navigation bar under "Posts & Sharing" and can be sent to your Facebook Profile by clicking the "Share" button next to the post.
