Social Media Auto Poster – Schedule & Publish to Buffer

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

It saves a lot of time with social media publishing and helps keep our content workflow organized. Keep up the great work, guys!

   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.

   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!

   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.
