<p>Social Publisher helps you publish WordPress content to multiple social networks from one place inside your dashboard.</p>
<p>Connect your accounts, choose where each post should be shared, customize the message, attach an image, and publish without jumping between platforms.</p>
<p>Designed for a simple workflow, Social Publisher supports manual publishing from its main screen and auto-post options from the WordPress editor.</p>
<h4>Main features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Publish to multiple social networks from one dashboard</li>
<li>Connect and manage accounts in one place</li>
<li>Write a custom message before publishing</li>
<li>Use the built-in image cropper before posting</li>
<li>Trigger auto-post options from the Gutenberg editor</li>
<li>Disconnect accounts and restart a connection from zero when needed</li>
<li>Review debug logs when troubleshooting a connection or publish attempt</li>
</ul>

<li>Mastodon</li>
<li>Tumblr</li>
<li>Pinterest</li>
<li>Threads</li>
<li>Instagram</li>
<li>LinkedIn</li>
<li>Blogger</li>
<li>Telegram</li>
<li>Facebook Pages</li>
</ul>
<p>Support for some networks may depend on the account type, app approval status, or provider requirements.</p>
<h4>Who is this plugin for?</h4>
<p>Social Publisher is a good fit for:</p>
<ul>
<li>bloggers who want a simpler social publishing workflow</li>
<li>site owners who publish to more than one network</li>
<li>content creators who want to manage sharing from WordPress</li>
<li>admins who want account connections and publishing tools in one place</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>Social Publisher connects to external services only when a site administrator enables a provider, starts an authorization flow, tests a connection, opens a share action, or publishes content to that provider.</p>
<p>The plugin stores the credentials returned by each provider in the WordPress database for the current site. It uses those credentials only to validate the connection and publish content chosen by the administrator. Debug logs are sanitized to avoid storing access tokens or OAuth secrets in clear text.</p>
<p>No data is sent to a social network unless that specific integration is configured and used.</p>

<p>Data sent and when: when the administrator saves or tests the Bluesky connection, the plugin sends the configured handle and app password to Bluesky. When publishing, it sends the post text, link, optional image data, and the authenticated account identifier to Bluesky.</p>
