Automatically send content to your Hootsuite account for scheduled publishing to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn.
Version 2.6.0 (21st January, 2025)
Documentation | Changelog
Automatically Share Posts, Pages and Custom Post Types to Social Media
WordPress to Hootsuite Pro automatically publishes new and existing WordPress Posts, Pages and Custom Post Types to:
- Facebook (Pages and Groups)
- LinkedIn (Pages and Profiles)
- Instagram (Personal Profiles*)
Just connect WordPress to Hootsuite Pro to your Hootsuite account (we show you how), choosing how and when you want to publish content to your social media profiles. That’s it.
* Hootsuite will send a reminder to your Hootsuite Mobile App when publishing to your Instagram Personal Profile. Read more. Instagram Business Profiles are not supported.
Full Support for Pages, Posts and Custom Post Types
As well as Posts and Pages, WordPress to Hootsuite Pro works with all public Custom Post Types, including WooCommerce Products or any Theme / Plugin defined Custom Post Types.
For each Page, Post, Custom Post Type and Social Media account combination, separate options are available to enable or disable content sharing when:
- Manually reposting an existing Post (Bulk Publish)
- Publishing a new Post (Publish)
- Updating an existing published Post (Update)
- Automatically reposting an existing Post (Repost)
Multiple, Customisable Status Messages per Post
For 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.
Separate Options per Social Network
Unique status messages can be defined on a per-Post and social media account basis, allowing for any possible configuration to meet your social media publishing needs.
For example, you could define three short status updates for your Twitter profile, to be posted every week after a Post is published, alongside two Facebook status updates which contain more content.
Powerful Scheduling
Each social media status update can independently be set to:
- 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.
Conditional Publishing
Status updates can be set to conditionally be sent to Hootsuite based on a Post’s:
- Author(s),
- Published Date Range,
- Taxonomy Terms (Categories, Tags and Custom Taxonomies),
- Custom Field Values.
For Custom Field values, comparison operators include Equals, Does not Equal, Great Than or Equal to, Less Than, Less Than or Equal to, Like (partial match) and Not Like (partial match).
This is useful when you want to conditionally send updates (or send different updates) for a Post:
- To specific social media profiles belonging to a specific WordPress Author (User),
- Depending on the Post’s Categories,
- If the Post’s published date falls between a given day and month range (useful for seasonal posts),
- To different Pinterest boards depending on the Post Category,
- Depending on whether a Custom Field Key’s value matches a given value
- Depending on whether a Custom Field’s Key contains a given value
Automatically Repost Old Posts
WordPress to Hootsuite 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 Hootsuite. 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.
Manually Bulk Publish Old Posts
If you prefer more control over reviving old Posts that you’re unlikely to manually edit or update, the Bulk Publish functionality is perfect for evergreen WordPress content that you want to send occasionally or one time to your social media profiles.
The simple bulk publishing interface allows you to query for Posts, Pages or Custom Post Types published in a specified time period, before choosing which Posts, Pages or Custom Post Types to schedule for sharing on your chosen social media accounts.
You can also choose Posts, Pages and Custom Post Types using the Bulk Actions in WordPress, and send them straight to Hootsuite.
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 Hootsuite.
Full Image Control
For each Post Type and Social Media account combination, you can choose to either have your SEO or Open Graph Plugin define the image to include with your social media updates, or let WordPress to Hootsuite Pro use your Post’s Featured Image (either linked, or not linked, to your Post).
WordPress to Hootsuite Pro also provides its own Featured Image option, should your Custom Post Type not have Featured Image support, and/or you need to use a different image for your social network posts vs. your Post’s Featured Image.
Alternatively, there’s an option on each status message to automatically generate an image from some text, with global configuration options including font type, size, foreground and background colors and per-profile background images.
Built For The Future
More Features
That’s not all. Thanks to over 10 years of development, WP to Hootsuite Pro (probably) has everything you need to automate sharing your WordPress content to social media, including:
Generate Images from Text
No Featured Image, but want to post to a network that requires an image (such as Instagram or Pinterest)? No problem.
For each status message, optionally choose to generate an image from text. Text can be separate to the status’ text.
Global configuration options include font type, size, foreground and background colors and per-profile background images.
Compatible with Frontend Posting and Auto Blogging Plugins
WordPress to Hootsuite Pro is compatible with most front end posting and auto blogging Plugins, including:
- User Submitted Posts
- WP Property Feed Plugin
- WPeMatico
- WP Job Manager Broadbean Addon
WP-Cron and WP-CLI Compatible
When publishing or updating a Post, WP-Cron can be enabled, allowing WordPress to send status updates through its Cron system a few minutes later. This helps improve performance.
For developers and advanced users with WP-CLI enabled on their WordPress installations, WordPress to Hootsuite Pro provides WP-CLI commands to:
- Bulk Publish, instead of using the WordPress Admin UI
- Repost, instead of using WP-Cron,

Social Media Sharing, Reimagined
Using another automated social media sharing solution?
It’s frustrating when a product isn’t maintained, updated, supported, or worse – completely abandoned. WordPress to Hootsuite Pro has been developed since January 2014, and is still actively developed today.
If you’re a Jetpack Social, Blog2Social, Revive Old Posts or NextScripts Social Networks Auto-Poster user looking for a replacement to auto post to Twitter / X, WordPress to Hootsuite is one of the best auto post to Twitter solutions that still works in 2023, as Hootsuite still works with Twitter / X.
With automatic reposting of old Posts, conditional publishing and powerful scheduling, we think WordPress to Hootsuite Pro is a great alternative.
Simply register for an account with Hootsuite, connect your social media profiles and start sending your old Posts to your social media profiles.
There’s no need to register applications, wait for approvals or be frustrated with Posts not publishing to your social network.
Finally, there’s no hyped potential earnings or crazy claims, and you’re covered by our 14 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee on your initial purchase.
