<p>One Two Three Post is a WordPress plugin for site owners who manage one or more Facebook Pages and want a clean composer + scheduler inside WordPress instead of switching to Meta’s tools.</p>
<p>The plugin is fully functional on its own. A separate companion plugin (One Two Three Post Pro, distributed independently) will add AI-generated post drafting and Publer-style multi-network support — One Two Three Post does not require it.</p>
<h4>What’s included</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Composer</strong> — pick a Page, write the message, attach an image from the WP media library, choose post type, send now or schedule.</li>
<li><strong>Native coloured-background text posts</strong> — the Facebook-rendered “text on coloured background” format. 41 background presets ported from a known-working list, plus a custom-preset-ID field for Pages with brand-specific palettes.</li>
<li><strong>First comment</strong> — optional comment posted automatically on the published post (handy for newsletter CTAs, link drops, follow-up prompts). A comment failure does not roll back the main post.</li>
<li><strong>Scheduling</strong> — pick any future time (Facebook requires ≥10 minutes lead). A WP-Cron worker fires every 5 minutes and pushes due posts to the Graph API. Failed posts retry up to 3 times with the error visible.</li>
<li><strong>Calendar view</strong> — month grid showing every scheduled / drafted / sent / failed post. Click a day to filter the list. Counts + status-coloured pills per day.</li>
<li><strong>List view</strong> — chronological table with the next post going out at the top. Visual preview tile per row (image thumb for photo posts, dark tile with text excerpt for coloured-background, grey card for text-only).</li>
<li><strong>Edit-in-composer</strong> — clicking Edit on any saved post returns to the composer with all fields hydrated (page, message, image, schedule time, type, background, first comment).</li>
<li><strong>Encrypted credentials</strong> — your Facebook App Secret and per-Page access tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256-CBC, keyed off your WordPress authentication keys.</li>
</ul>
<h4>External services</h4>
<p>This plugin contacts the following Facebook endpoints using credentials you provide. Nothing is sent to any third party without you connecting first.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Facebook Login (<code>https://www.facebook.com/v19.0/dialog/oauth</code>)</strong> — the OAuth dialog the user is redirected to when clicking “Connect to Facebook” in Settings. Standard Facebook Login flow.</li>
<li><strong>Facebook Graph API (<code>https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0</code>)</strong> — for the OAuth code-to-token exchange, listing the user’s Pages, fetching Page metadata, publishing posts and comments, scheduling posts. Called only after the user has connected a Page and only when posting / scheduling.</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin itself does not phone home to any other server. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party trackers, no opt-in newsletter signups, no remote update channel.</p>
<ul>
<li>Facebook Platform Terms: https://developers.facebook.com/terms/</li>
<li>Facebook Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/</li>
</ul>
<h4>Required Facebook permissions</h4>
<p>The plugin requests three Facebook scopes during the Connect flow:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>pages_manage_posts</code> — create posts on your Pages</li>
<li><code>pages_read_engagement</code> — read your Page metadata</li>
<li><code>pages_show_list</code> — list the Pages you manage</li>
</ul>
<h4>Useful links</h4>

</ul>

<p>The WP-Cron system in WordPress is not a “real” cron system, which means events may not run exactly according to their schedule because the system relies on regular traffic to the website in order to trigger scheduled events.</p>
<h3>Reasons WP-Cron events can miss their schedule</h3>
<ul>
<li>Low traffic websites may not trigger the event runner often enough</li>
<li>A fatal error caused by a plugin or theme may break the event runner</li>
<li>A plugin or theme may intentionally or unintentionally break the event runner</li>
<li>BasicAuth, a firewall, or other access restrictions may block the event runner</li>
<li>A problem with your web hosting or web server may break the event runner</li>
<li>The <code>DISABLE_WP_CRON</code> configuration constant is set but no alternative cron runner has been put in place</li>
<li>Long-running events may temporarily block the event runner</li>
<li>High traffic websites may suffer from sequential processing issues that block the event runner</li>
</ul>
<p>The Advanced Cron Scheduler for WordPress plugin does alter the way that WordPress core runs cron events using the Action Scheduler Library.</p>
<p>Action Scheduler is a scalable, traceable job queue for background processing large sets of actions in WordPress. It’s specially designed to be distributed in WordPress plugins.</p>
<p>Action Scheduler works by triggering an action hook to run at some time in the future. Each hook can be scheduled with unique data, to allow callbacks to perform operations on that data. The hook can also be scheduled to run on one or more occassions.</p>
<p>Think of it like an extension to <code>do_action()</code> which adds the ability to delay and repeat a hook.</p>
<h3>Battle-Tested Background Processing</h3>
<p>Every month, Action Scheduler processes millions of payments for <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/" rel="nofollow ugc">Subscriptions</a>, webhooks for <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/" rel="ugc">WooCommerce</a>, as well as emails and other events for a range of other plugins.</p>
<p>It’s been seen on live sites processing queues in excess of 50,000 jobs and doing resource intensive operations, like processing payments and creating orders, at a sustained rate of over 10,000 / hour without negatively impacting normal site operations.</p>
<p>This is all on infrastructure and WordPress sites outside the control of the plugin author.</p>
<p>If your plugin needs background processing, especially of large sets of tasks, Action Scheduler can help.</p>
