WP Telegram (Auto Post and Notifications)

I've been using WP Telegram for posting blog posts to Telegram. It has served me well. I recently added the plugin to a site where the posts are not published directly but go through a publishing queue. This caused some problems, but the WP Telegram support helped me solve the problem. I only needed to check the "Plugin generated posts" setting. Now everything works smoothly!

Good plugin, great support


This works wonders, to notify customers about their orders through Telegram, thank you.



Is there a way to  notify them without using wp_mail hook? So I don't need to email them aswell?



Thanks!


Reliable way of notifying customers


I'll start off with the level of support. Superior! My initial introduction to this plugin was that the settings page would not display. I reached out to the publisher and within a few short hours the issue was diagnosed and a solution provided. That's fast!



Setting up the Telegram settings was quite straightforward and worked the first time. I love that they have test buttons right in the Admin to ensure it will work as I tried another plugin and it wasn't working at all.



Future asks would be to set up a schedule for when to post and how many. For now one simply can schedule the publishing of the WP Post and it will then push to Telegram when it publishes.



So far I'm quite happy and kudos to Irshad (@irshadahmad21) for a wonderful plugin and excellent support!


Great Plugin for Posting to Telegram


Easy to set up and works perfectly!



A must-have for connecting WordPress with Telegram.



Highly recommend!


Great Plugin for Telegram Integration


I've been using it for over a year. Completely noiseless and does exactly what it's supposed to do.

<p>SDAweb Channels for YouTube is a lightweight, privacy-friendly way to showcase YouTube content on your WordPress site.

</ul>
<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
<h4>YouTube Data API v3</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to the YouTube Data API v3 to fetch channel information and video data. API calls are made server-side only when:</p>
<ul>
<li>An admin adds or refreshes a channel</li>
<li>The scheduled cron refresh runs (configurable interval, default 6 hours)</li>
<li>The live status cron runs (every 5 minutes, or every 1 minute during a configured Broadcast Boost window)</li>
</ul>
<p>No API calls are made during normal visitor page views — all data is served from the local cache.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service provider: Google LLC</li>
<li>API endpoint: <code>https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3</code></li>
<li><a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/api-services-terms-of-service" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube API Terms of Service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<p>A YouTube Data API v3 key is required. You can obtain one for free from the <a href="https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Cloud Console</a>.</p>
<h4>YouTube RSS Feeds</h4>
<p>This plugin fetches public YouTube RSS feeds (<code>https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml</code>) to discover recently published and scheduled videos. These requests are read-only, use no API quota, and contain only publicly available video IDs.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service provider: Google LLC (YouTube)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/t/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube Terms of Service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>YouTube Embeds</h4>
<p>When a visitor clicks play on a video, an iframe loads from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain (<code>youtube-nocookie.com</code>). No embed loads until the visitor initiates playback. No cookies are set by this domain.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service provider: Google LLC (YouTube)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/t/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube Terms of Service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>YouTube IFrame Player API</h4>
<p>When a visitor opens the lightbox player, the YouTube IFrame Player API script (<code>https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api</code>) is loaded to enable programmatic playback control (mute/unmute toggle). This script is only loaded when the lightbox is first opened — not on page load. No data is sent to YouTube beyond what the standard embed already transmits.</p>
