NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

286 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 235 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 59% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 4 months ago; the previous band took 13 months to cross, which places it about 71% of the way through.

   We have used SNAP (and its custom API) for many years. While originally a great plugin, SNAP has fallen subject to the difficulties associated with social media networks NOT wanting you to use software (or their APIs) like this. As a result, connecting to Facebook is near-impossible, and Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest are also rife with nigh-insurmountable difficulties. This applies to using their API or native social APIs. Simultaneously, SNAP’s How-to guides continue to fall out of date with screenshots of pages that look completely different and missing important details and info required for proceeding. Give this one a hard pass, and seek other ways to auto-post content to your social media platforms.

   Very usefull plugin. Automatically shares newly published posts to my social media accounts. Works fine for Twitter (X), Facebook and VK. Some networks requre premium addons, but just a few. Other than that – best plugin ever.

   I have been paying for annual maintenance on this plugin for years. What was a reliable tool for connecting with Social Networks is 100% broken in the sense that *none* of the connectors to the various social networks actually function. Furthermore, when a request is submitted through official support channels for the plugin, the requests are ignored. (And I’m a paying client.) It is a sad day to have to write this review… but in the context of having paid for ongoing support and not receiving that ongoing support *for more than a year* it is time to publish this to hopefully help others avoid this once-promising plugin. WordPress should remove this plugin from the repository ASAP.

   I have been a user of the Premium version for several years, and it is incredible how a plugin that worked well could not adapt to the changes that have occurred in the different social networks, it is becoming more and more difficult to configure it and if you wait for them to provide you with support you can die before they answer; the posted instructions are already outdated and the FAQ is too basic. Don’t waste money, I don’t renew anymore, even if I have to learn to use a different plugin and it’s something more expensive. ——————- Soy usuario de la versión Premiun desde hace varios años, y es increible como un plugin que funcionaba bien no pudo adaptarse los cambios que han habido en las diferentes redes sociales, cada vez se hace mas dificil configurarlo y si esperas a que te provean soporte puedes morir antes de que respondan; las instrucciones publicadas ya son obsoletas y el FAQ es demasiado básico. No desperdicien dinero, yo no renuevo más, asi tenga que aprender a utilizar un plugin distinto y sea algo mas costoso.
