About
Posts to Bluesky, Mastodon or X when you update your WordPress blog or add a link, with your chosen URL shortening service.
Security History
What It Does
XPoster automatically publishes a post to Bluesky, Mastodon, or X whenever you publish or update content on your WordPress site, with an optional URL shortener to keep links tidy. It handles the OAuth connection and per-network message formatting so you do not need to copy and paste links into each social app manually. It is designed for one-way broadcast sharing rather than two-way engagement or on-page share buttons.
Who It's For
This plugin fits solo writers, indie journalists, small publishers, and nonprofits who want every new blog post to land on Bluesky or Mastodon (or X) without manual effort. It is a good fit if you treat social posting as a fire-and-forget distribution channel and you already prefer the fediverse or X over Facebook and LinkedIn. Agencies managing a handful of blogs for clients will also find the per-network template settings useful.
Who Should Skip It
If you need on-page share buttons, share counters, or scheduling of social posts independently of new blog entries, this is not the right tool, and AddToAny or a dedicated scheduler would serve you better. Sites whose audience lives mostly on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Threads should skip it because those networks are not supported.
The Bottom Line
XPoster does exactly one job, automated cross-posting to Bluesky, Mastodon, or X, and it does it on a current and well-maintained codebase with a tidy support record. Its narrow install base and middling rating keep the overall score in the 70s, but for fediverse-friendly publishers that single job is genuinely useful. Treat it as a specialist tool, not a replacement for a full sharing or scheduling suite.

Pick this when you want visible share buttons on your posts that cover dozens of networks, not just automated cross-posting to Bluesky and Mastodon.
This is unrelated to social sharing and only appears here because of scoring overlap, so skip it unless you need to clone posts.
Also unrelated to social sharing; choose it only if you need to convert posts between custom post types.
Use this when you need to inject custom scripts or tracking pixels site-wide rather than automate social posts.
Choose this if you want decorative share icons with counters for many networks, since XPoster does not place any buttons on your pages.
