Post Direct to Instagram

If you have an Instagram Business Profile, WordPress to Buffer Pro can schedule posts to be published straight to your Instagram.  There’s no need to act on a posting ‘reminder’, and you don’t need a paid Buffer plan.

Don’t have an Instagram Business Profile? It’s free to switch your personal profile.

WordPress to Buffer Pro supports posting Instagram Posts and Stories.

Multiple, Customisable Status Messages per Post

PFor each Post Type and Social Media account combination, you can specify any number of unique statuses – each with their own text and options.

Status updates are dynamically built using template tags.  These include the Post’s title, excerpt, content, date, URL, any custom field data (including Advanced Custom Fields, Events Manager, The Events Calendar, Yoast SEO and more), any Post taxonomy terms and the Post’s author.

Shortcodes are also supported in the status text.

For example, you can share your content three times to Facebook, once to Twitter and twice to Instagram over the period of two days – each with their own, unique status messages.

Powerful Scheduling

Each social media status update can independently be set to:

• Add to End of Buffer Queue
• Add to Start of Buffer Queue
• Publish immediately,
• Publish at a defined time period after the Post’s publish date.
• Publish at a defined time period after a Post’s custom field / meta value (such as an ACF date field).
• The Events Calendar Plugin and Events Manager: schedule social media status updates based on your Event’s Start or End date, as well as display Event-specific details in your status updates.

Automatically Repost Old Posts

WordPress to Buffer Pro is the ideal solution if you want to revive old Posts, Pages or Custom Post Types that you’re unlikely to manually edit or update, which perhaps contain evergreen and always relevant content that would be useful to your social media followers.

For each Post Type, you can choose the maximum number of Posts per day to re-share, how often to re-share the same Post and how old the Post should be for it to be reposted to Buffer.  For example, you can set Posts to be re-shared to social media every 5 days, 3 weeks, annually etc, relative to the Post’s published date.

Just like the settings available when publishing and updating Posts, Pages and Custom Post Types, one or more status updates can be added for each Post Type and Social Media account, as well as powerful scheduling and conditional publishing.

Per-Post Settings

Per-Post Settings offer greater control for the times where you need to define specific social media status updates for an individual Post, Page or Custom Post Type.

The same settings interface and options above are available in the WordPress Editor, allowing you to define one or more status updates – specific to a Post – for the publish, update and repost actions, for each social media account connected to Buffer.

Multiple Images per Status

For Facebook, Instagram*, X / Twitter, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Threads and BlueSky, up to 10 images can be specified to be included in a status update.

Specific images can be defined, or the Plugin can automatically scrape the images from your Post’s content.

Users can then click on the individual images within the status to see the full size versions.

* For Instagram, using multiple images for a single status will send a reminder to the Buffer mobile app, as required by Buffer.
