Automatic posting and reposting to Facebook and Twitter.
== Description ==
SharePress is a WordPress plugin that automatically shares your content to Facebook and Twitter.
Note: This version of SharePress is being sunset, and will no longer be supported after December 31, 2015.
You can read about this decision here.
There are currently no plans to continue SharePress development beyond December 31, 2015.
Features of this plugin include:
- Automatically publish your WordPress posts to your personal Facebook wall
- Publish to all of the Facebook pages you manage
- Publish to your Twitter followers
- Customize each Facebook status message
- Control the image Facebook uses just by setting the post's featured image
- Customize Twitter status hashtag
- Delay SharePress' sharing for minutes, hours, or days after a post goes live
- Schedule reposts of your content: keep traffic flowing to your site day and night
- Total control over all Facebook open graph meta data using filters and/or custom fields
SharePress is compatible with WordPress Multisite (MU) and WordPress Multi-Network.
= Why use SharePress instead of those other guys? =
Two great reasons:
Focus Integrating with social networks is hard, so we focus on the big providers—Facebook and Twitter—so
that SharePress can continue to be the most reliable solution for automatic
posting and reposting. You write good content, and we'll keep the oauth out of your hair.
Ease of use Simple is hard, but we're committed to keeping SharePress easy to use. Like WordPress' core
features, we'll always try to keep our defaults sensible, and our options pages short. This ensures SharePress
is easy to use for you, your clients and customers, and also keeps SharePress healthy and easy to maintain.
But don't take our word for it...
= Who uses SharePress? =
Awesome people like these:
Mike Schepker of letstalkabout.tv says
SharePress is the easiest, most reliable plugin for getting your WordPress content onto your Facebook page. Setup was a breeze and I have not experienced any issues with the new plugin. SharePress is a much more elegant solution than other services like Networked Blogs. SharePress was the first premium plugin I've ever purchased for my site, and let me tell you, it was well worth the money.
Corey Brown of No Treble and Squidoo says
I've been a lucky beta tester for SharePress for about 6 months now. Not only is it completely reliable, the feature set is second to none. I'd been trying to solve the WordPress-to-Facebook page issue for quite some time, and SharePress stands alone with its feature list. This is a game changing plugin (have you seen the repost feature!?). And if that wasn't enough, this one has the best support I've ever seen from a plugin developer.
Tim Stephenson of holistic-care.com says
Firstly, thanks for creating SharePress - it's the first plugin for social "cross posting" I've come across that actually just works, and more importantly, works reliably every time you use it!
David Delaney of whiskeyboys.com says
"I'm all set now. Thank you very much for your help and for this awesome plugin."
Dan Winer of danatdisney.com says
I can't tell you how many Facebook plugins I have tried and none of them have been reliable enough, simple enough or flexible enough for simply posting new posts to a Facebook Page. Finally I have found SharePress - simple, reliable, flexible, (cheap) - Thank you so much Fat Panda! If only I had found you earlier.
Jason Hess of RV7-Factory.com says
SharePress is exactly what I needed to keep all my followers and fellow enthusiasts up-to-date with the greatest of ease. Why post twice when SharePress does all the work for you!? You can't beat the support either!
