Social Publisher is a GDPR-compliant WordPress plugin for automatic posting on LinkedIn – directly when publishing a post. It is ideal for agencies, editorial teams, and B2B marketing teams who want to save time and appear more professional.
To ensure GDPR compliance, the LinkedIn OAuth connection is routed through a neutral, tracking-free proxy domain. This avoids direct requests to LinkedIn from the user’s browser and prevents personal data leakage.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the official LinkedIn API to authenticate users and publish content. Below is a list of all external services used, including what data is transmitted and under which conditions.
<h3>LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com and https://api.linkedin.com)</h3>
The plugin integrates with LinkedIn to allow users to publish posts from WordPress to their LinkedIn profile or company page.
Purpose: 
– Authenticate a LinkedIn account via OAuth 2.0 
– Fetch basic profile information 
– Publish posts (text and image) on behalf of the user
Data transmitted: 
– During OAuth: The plugin sends the <code>client_id</code> and <code>redirect_uri</code> to LinkedIn. 
– After authorization: A temporary authorization code is exchanged for an access token. 
– When publishing: The plugin sends the post content (title, text, optional image URL) and the target profile or organization ID.
When is data sent? 
– Only after the user explicitly connects their LinkedIn account and enables auto-posting. 
– Publishing occurs only when the “Share on LinkedIn” option is checked in the post edit screen.
Endpoints used: 
 – https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization 
 – https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/userinfo 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/assets?action=registerUpload 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/media/upload 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/assets?action=registerUpload 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/userinfo

 – https://social-publisher.enfants.de/wp-json/social-publisher/v1/linkedin/callback
<h3>Proxy Service (https://social-publisher.enfants.de)</h3>
This service is used as a neutral GDPR-compliant proxy for handling the LinkedIn OAuth handshake.
Purpose: 
– Relay OAuth 2.0 communication securely between WordPress and LinkedIn 
– Avoid direct browser connections to LinkedIn for better GDPR compliance
Data transmitted: 
– Temporary authorization codes 
– Access tokens (only during the runtime of authentication) 
– Selected LinkedIn profile URNs
When is data sent? 
– Only during the OAuth authorization process initiated by the user 
– No data is stored after completion of the process

Terms of Use: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement
No tracking, analytics, or unsolicited data is sent to LinkedIn. All calls are made directly or via an optional GDPR-compliant proxy provided by the plugin author.
<h3>Proxy and GDPR</h3>
To ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Social Publisher does not communicate directly with LinkedIn from the WordPress admin interface.
Instead, all OAuth-related requests are routed through a separate proxy server (https://connect.enfants.de), which acts as a neutral relay between WordPress and LinkedIn. This prevents any tracking or third-party cookies from being injected into the WordPress backend.
The proxy server does not store any personal data, credentials, or tokens beyond the runtime of the connection. The connection is end-to-end encrypted and uses short-lived access tokens granted by LinkedIn.
This architecture ensures maximum privacy and a GDPR-compliant integration of LinkedIn into your WordPress website.

WP LinkedIn Auto Publish lets you publish posts, custom posts and pages automatically from WordPress to your personal LinkedIn profile and/or company pages that you are an administrator of.
The plugin is simple, lightweight and free. It does have a couple of options which includes choosing who you want to share your LinkedIn posts with and whether you want to enable simple text-based sharing or more advanced sharing where you can tell LinkedIn to use your posts feature image. You can also setup a default share message format using time saving dynamic shortcodes for all your posts which you can over-ride on the post meta box settings. You can also filter items to be published based on categories selected on the plugin settings page. You can choose whether you want to share posts, custom posts and pages. You can select the default profile and/or companies you want to share with as well.
Every post will automatically be published to LinkedIn, however on each post there is a checkbox which enables you to not share a particular post. On a post page and on the all posts page you will also see a record of instances a post has been shared to LinkedIn.

WP LinkedIn Auto Publish

It's not often that you get a plugin that's well-developed, easy to implement, and offers every feature needed as advertised. While there's a paid option on this plugin that expands the social media platforms supported, this plugin does a great job of doing exactly what it says.

Three great features:

	Oauth configuration
	Both personal page and corporate page support
	Multi-account and multi-page publishing


Much appreciated, and added to our list of best WordPress plugins on Martech Zone!

Well-Developed And A Complete Solution

Great !!


Overall works quite well, only complaint is that it reposts to my linkedin whenever I update the post by default.  This has resulted in many duplicate posts.  Not a huge deal, I just have to go to linkedin to delete the duplicates.


Works well, duplicate posts happen on post update

WP LinkedIn Auto Publish automatically publishes posts, custom posts and pages to your LinkedIn profile and/or company pages.
