Before using WordPress to Hootsuite Pro, you’ll need to authenticate your WordPress to Hootsuite Pro installation to use your Hootsuite account. This ensures that WordPress to Hootsuite Pro can send status updates to Hootsuite when Posts are published, updated, reposted or bulk published, based on the Plugin’s settings.
Free Plugin user? These same steps apply, only the Plugin will be named WP to Hootsuite in the WordPress Admin Menu.
If you’re upgrading from the Free version, you won’t need to re-authenticate – so don’t worry if you don’t see the Authorize Plugin button.
