dhtmlx

An easy to implement event calendar plugin built on top of <a href="http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxScheduler/" rel="nofollow ugc">dhtmlxScheduler</a> 
that provides an Ajax-based scheduling interface similar to Google Calendar. The plugin allows you 
to manage single or multiple user events, display any type of events and appointments, and put a list of the upcoming events on a side bar.
Users can add/edit/delete events on the fly and easily change event date and time by simply dragging the event boxes. 
You can set up different levels of permissions to people who will use the calendar: make the scheduler read-only or allow 
a group of users to edit the events through a web-based calendar interface.
The calendar can be configured to display events in Day, Week, Month, Agenda, Timeline view, as well as in any custom view. The intuitive admin panel 
makes it easy to customize the calendar to your needs. You can use the plugin as an event calendar or as archive calendar to display your blog posts archive (in this case it works in read-only mode).

Social Engine

I completely replaced Buffer by Social Engine. I used to have my posts marked as "Posted by Buffer", now it's marked as "Posted by Jordy Meow" (since you can choose the name of your app created on the different SNS platforms). It's much cooler! Also, you can create a huge amount of posts in advance, or even automate the creations of those posts and push them into Social Engine... so much freedom!

Replaced Buffer by Social Engine


Hi used Buffer for years and paid a lot of money to schedule my social media posts for Facebook and Twitter. Social Engine is a great replacement. Build right into WordPress and with the complete control over the content.



Jordy Meow has always an open ear for suggestions and has implemented many of them in no time.



Thanky you!


Finaly a Buffer Replacement


It is very easy to use, and powerful vs other saas solutions. You can publish unlimited posts in your own premises :-).


Great Plugin!


Took some guesswork on the Facebook Explorer permissions needed to get it working, but just added them all, and that solves, can probably find out which by trial and error, but I think Jordy just needed to recheck this and update the documentation.



Keep up the great work, the world needs and thanks you!


Briliant plugin alternative to Buffer, Blog2Social, etc

Schedule posts without subscription fees. Self-hosted, AI-powered, with full MCP support for intelligent automation.
