NEED a function to auto purge failed posts from Buffer queue
by Winston·6 months ago·1 reply
PLEASE add a feature to automatically remove failed posts from Buffer queue. This is the most annoying thing ever with your plugin. Almost every week our team has to log in to 10+ sites we manage to manually remove the failed posts from the queue. This could be done automatically through your plugin since you have a Buffer API key and as you know Buffer is only giving them to approved partners… So only you can fix this problem. We have already reported it long time ago, but nothing was done… I’ll change this review to a 5 stars if it’s fixed.
Finally! Blogging connects to Social Media
by misterbates·6 months ago
I’ve been wanting a way to post the same content on my website and on Facebook. WordPress + Buffer + WP to Buffer FINALLY provides that link. It’s very easy to setup, and the flexibility of being able to take different actions depending on the post type and my specified conditions is fantastic. Truly a useful, usable plug-in!

Works well, responsive support
by pauldrecksler·7 months ago
This plugin was working great for a while, until I changed my setup from Article Type = “Article” to “NewsArticle”. Then it stopped working as intended. I reached out to support, we did some troubleshooting, and Tim ended up writing me a custom plugin to work alongside WP to Buffer Pro to accomplish what I need. Now I’m back in action. Thanks Tim.
