<h3>Why Choose This Social Media Auto Poster?</h3>
<p>Unlike basic WordPress to Facebook or WordPress to Twitter plugins, this social media automation tool gives you complete control over how your content appears on each platform. Create multiple unique status messages per post type, schedule publication times, or add posts to your social media queue automatically.</p>
<h3>Still Works with Twitter / X</h3>
<p>If you’re looking for a replacement for Jetpack Social, Blog2Social, or NextScripts to auto publish to Twitter/X, this is one of the few WordPress social media plugins that still supports Twitter/X auto posting after the API changes.</p>
<h3>Smart Social Media Automation Features</h3>
