Relevant Social URL Reviews, Downloads & Maintenance

This plugin adds a field to the WordPress editor sidebar which allows you to paste the URL to a social media post that is associated with the post on your WordPress site. The URL is then stored in post meta and can be used to e.g. display the relevant social media post URL in the frontend.

By default, the plugin will append the link to the post content in the frontend. This can be disabled via filter though in favor of manual output elsewhere.

You can paste any URL into the field, regardless of social media platform. That said, the plugin will automatically recognize certain providers and adjust the message displayed in the frontend accordingly, referencing the specific provider when possible. The following providers are explicitly supported (in alphabetical order):

Bluesky
Facebook
GitHub
Instagram
LinkedIn
SoundCloud
Spotify
Threads
TikTok
Twitter
Tumblr
WordPress
WordPress.com
X
YouTube

No third-party APIs are called by this plugin and no data is sent to any of these providers by the plugin.

Installation

Upload the entire relevant-social-url folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory or download it through the WordPress backend.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I configure the plugin?

This plugin doesn’t come with a settings screen or options of any kind. As soon as you install it, you should see the input field in the sidebar when editing a post.

How can I enable the functionality on other post types?

This is very straightforward using the built-in filter relsoc_post_types.

For example, the following snippet would additionally show the input field for pages and output the social media post link in the frontend on pages too:

add_filter(
    'relsoc_post_types',
    function ( $post_types ) {
        $post_types[] = 'page';
        return $post_types;
    }
);

How can I disable frontend output of the social media post link?

Simply use the built-in filter relsoc_frontend_output_enabled. For example, to disable output:

add_filter( 'relsoc_frontend_output_enabled', '__return_false' );

How can I customize the frontend output of the social media post link?

You can modify the text that is displayed for the link, replacing the default of “This post also appeared on {social media platform}.”.

You can do so by providing your own text via the built-in relsoc_frontend_link_text filter.
