XPoster – Share to Bluesky and Mastodon

I was so relieved to find this after Twitter changes. Works as it should. Thank you for a great plugin.

I had been using WP to Twitter until some drug addict took over ex-Twitter. Not only did he name it that way but he also disconnected me from it. I have been having such difficulties since then as I had to ex-tweet manually. Then I found a new version. The developer says that it requires WP 6.0 or later, but I installed it on my WordPress 4.9.24 anyway. Oh my dog! It works all right. Now I can get back to ex-Twitter. I am so happy because I will never go beyond 4.9.x. I must add that the developer’s document also helped significantly.

It does not work because OAuth 2.0 Authentication is required when I make up a new twitter project or edit default project . Any way I tried to post then this error come up. “403: Client Forbidden: When authenticating requests to the Twitter API v2 endpoints, you must use keys and tokens from a Twitter developer App that is attached to a Project. You can create a project via the developer portal.” I do not know when this x developer “User authentication settings” changed. Thank you.

My review is no longer accurate, since it was written after a possible announcement of the end of support for this plugin. To this day, seeing it upgrade to “Xposter” (due to the platform name change), I can only be more than grateful. I am not lying when I say that it is the oldest plugin that I have in my installation of more than 12 years, and the one that I have seen applied the most love and work in all these years. Others have given up for less. Joe proves to be passionate about his work and his creation.

The plugin is simple and does just what it’s supposed to do. This last month I have only tried a couple of alternatives, which worked, but did not have basic functions; it’s clear that this plugin is based on the user’s real needs, not just posting to a social network. Other alternatives left important issues unresolved.

In addition, it has a PRO version that really transforms it into a totally different tool, since it expands its possibilities far beyond its basic use of sharing your posts. Among the most basic functions of the PRO version, you have the possibility of scheduling posts, delaying their sharing time, refloating old ones… they are essential options to be able to give more life to your content. In short, it is a real added value to a paid version.

So I have changed the content of this review, but the title of the post, however, does not need to be changed: THANKS FOR SO MUCH, Joe Dolson!!!

ORIGINAL POST:

Over a decade, I’ve had minor issues a couple of times with this plugin. In the support forums you find that this does not work, that if you do not post images, etc… problems that were not related to the plugin, but to the knowledge of the user or problems with his WordPress site configuration.

As of today, however, the plugin doesn’t work due to recent radical changes made by Twitter, and it looks like it won’t be updated anymore, according to what the creator of the plugin said.

Why rate it 5 stars? Well, because its creator deserves no less, for all the effort and dedication, and the few times he will have received thanks for creating the simplest and most effective solution for something as simple as sending a WordPress post to Twitter. For me, it’s the best plugin I’ve ever had installed on my WordPress.

Thank you very much for so much Joe Dolson, I hope you have success in all your current and future projects <3

This plugin is really great, I have used it for years (free version) without any problems – you just need to be careful to configure the settings so as not to send too many tweets and violate Twitters’ terms (….so probably best to disable the option to tweet when editing a post or page) but that also applies to any Twitter plugin.

Thank you Joseph C. Dolson for this very useful and well built plugin and for all your hard work.
