Automatically Re-Posting WordPress Posts to Social Networks

  • Unknown's avatar

    First, thanks in advance for the help!

    I’m having a web designer use wordpress for the news page on my new website (www.medsparkllc.com/beta), because I want an easy, flexible, and powerful way to publish our current news and events to the internet. One thing that I really want to do is to have every WordPress post automatically post to our other sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, etc, etc.

    When the WordPress post gets redistributed, I’d like to have the post’s title, a truncated version of the body and a link (maybe a shortened link) back to my website be what actually gets posted on the social networking sites… Especially sites like twitter that only allow 140 characters. I’m hoping this will direct more potential customers to our website and help with SEO.

    As far as the actual posts that are on the WordPress news page (located on our website), I’d like them to have a title, body, and then at the bottom “adds” like FB Share, G+, Re-Tweet, etc.

    First question is, I’ve found several Plugins (listed below), but I’m not sure which one works best for what I want to do. Or do I maybe need more than one plugin to do what I want? (i.e. automatically grab the post title and truncated post, generate a link back to the WP post, and up it to several SN sites)

    1-click Retweet/Share/Like
    Network Publisher
    Social Discussions
    WordSocial
    leenk.me
    OnlyWire for WordPress
    Next Scripts Social Networks Auto-Poster
    WPing.FM

    Thanks again for your help!!!

    Sorry, http://www.medsparkllc.com/beta/ is self-hosted and you need to head over to the WordPress.org forums as that is where self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG are supported.

    These forums are for those hosted here on the wordpress.COM free hosting service and things here work differently.

    If you are not familiar with the differences, see this support document.
