Social Media Auto Poster connects your WordPress site to Buffer, enabling automatic social media publishing whenever you create or update content. Share your blog posts, pages, and custom post types to multiple social networks without manual posting.
This plugin eliminates repetitive social media posting by automatically adding your WordPress content to your Buffer queue. Buffer then intelligently schedules posts to your connected social networks at optimal times for maximum engagement.
Automatic Social Media Publishing – Set it once and your content automatically shares to social media when published or updated.
Smart Scheduling with Buffer – Buffer’s queue system prevents spam by spacing out posts according to your schedule. Your social media profiles stay active without overwhelming followers.

We connect directly to your Buffer (buffer.com) account, via their API, to:
– Fetch your social media profile names and IDs,
– Send your WordPress Posts to one or more of your social media profiles. The profiles and content sent will depend on the plugin settings you have configured.
We connect to our own API to pass the following requests through to Buffer:

Both of these are done via our own API, to ensure that no secret data (such as oAuth client secret keys) are included in this Plugin’s code or made public.
