Jordy Meow

Social Engine is the self-hosted social media scheduler for WordPress. Connect directly to X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Mastodon—no middleman, no monthly fees, complete control.
Unlike Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later, Social Engine runs entirely on your WordPress site. Your data stays yours, your connections are permanent, and there’s no monthly subscription. Set it up once (15-30 minutes per platform), then enjoy unlimited scheduling forever.
Stop paying for features you already own! 🚀

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.

Event scheduler can be used for planning of recurring events.
Example: If you are in a small sports club, you could plan weekly games. 
Members will be able to join or cancel, so other members can see who 
participates in the game.
You can plan vacation schedules, where no events will be scheduled.
Last but not least you can notify users that have not yet accepted or 
declined the event by email.
