Honestly speaking, sharing content on social networks manually can take too much time and be quite boring, especially when you’re posting at regular times and if you have multiple accounts.
So, why not to take advantage of some modern tools and plugins that can handle this for you and take this burden off your shoulders?
Here are the best WordPress plugins for social media auto posting:
1. CoSchedule
CoSchedule is a content marketing editorial calendar that integrates with your WordPress blog using a WordPress plugin.
It helps you visualize and plan your blog content with drag-and-drop ease. You can create and publish customized messages for your social networks for each blog post. Posts are easily moved, and social messages attached to those posts move with them.
The CoSchedule calendar is perfect for social media scheduling.

I need to start using these! I admit, I don’t use any of them yet. Thank you for the helpful list!
Thank you so much for sharing this! We’ve been looking for something that will auto-schedule for a while so this is perfect. Will check out a few of these and see what they’re like. Thank you!!

I’m glad that I could help a bit 🙂
The only one of these that I knew about was Co-schedule because I use it, but I am definitely going to check out the rest of them. Do you really like Revive Old Post? I feel like that one will be the most useful to me.
Yes, I like it. It’s very important I think not to let the traffic from the old posts slowly die off
I use NextScripts SNAP and love it! I only have it setup for Facebook and Twitter, but it really helps to get my older content seen and allows me to focus on sharing other people’s articles that will benefit my audience more often instead of just trying to have to manually manage my own content all the time!
These are great tools, sure – but I’m a blogger user so they won’t work for me. However, I love the idea of something that will autoshare my backlog of posts – I’ll have to see if there’s a similar tool that will work with blogger.
I love coschedule saves my life so much with posting. I’m interested in microblog poster. I’m always looking at new plugins to use. Thanks for the tips.
You’re welcome! 🙂
I really love the sound of these, do you know if they are compatible with squarespace? I really need to get my life organized!
Hi, Chloe! I don’t think that they are compatible with Squarespace but I’ve found a link that may help you: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206543937-Sharing-content-on-social-media
I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about that coschedule app, it definitely makes like convenient for bloggers. I think it’s awesome to be able to share automatically.
This is great! I’ve been looking for an easier way to schedule and share on social media. Thank you!

I use revive old posts and find it does draw traffic to my blog – great list!
I used to use Revive Old Post until I got SmarterQueue. 🙂 It was a great plugin.
This is a great list! I use a couple of these but haven’t heard of others. Can’t wait to check them out. Thank you!
Awesome round up! I never heard of a lot of these!
This is so useful – I’ve never heard of any of these, but I need to look into each of them! Thanks for going into such great detail!

I was literally just thinking that I needed something like this! Thank you for the list.
I used to have a lot of those on my old blogs, but now a lot of them are out of date. Useful though when you don’t have time to do it yourself.
I only know how to use HootSuite and TweetDeck so I suppose I best start investing time into these now!
