Description
Socync connects your WordPress site to four major social platforms and automatically publishes your content when you publish a new post. 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
Go to Socync > Connections
Click "Connect" for X
Enter your Client ID and Client Secret (Confidential Client with Read+Write + offline.access scopes)
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
Go to Socync > Connections
Click "Connect" for LinkedIn
Enter your Client ID and Client Secret
Authorize the application via the OAuth redirect (redirects back to admin-post.php?action=socync_oauth_callback_linkedin)
Facebook — OAuth 2.0
Go to Socync > Connections
Click "Connect" for Facebook
Enter your Client ID and Client Secret
Authorize the application via the OAuth redirect, then select a Facebook Page to post as
Bluesky — App Password
Go to Socync > Connections
Click "Connect" for Bluesky
Enter your Bluesky handle/email and an App Password (generate one at Settings > App Passwords in Bluesky)
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
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.
