WordPress to Hootsuite Pro

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:

• Publishing a new Post (Publish)
• Updating an existing published Post (Update)
• Automatically reposting an existing Post (Repost)
• Manually reposting an existing Post (Bulk Publish)

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.

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,
• 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),
• 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

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 your Hootsuite queue.

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.

Ditch the Social Media Spreadsheet

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

If you’re using spreadsheets to plan how and when to share a new blog post, WordPress to Hootsuite Pro is the perfect solution.  Define all of your status messages, each with different text and publishing times.
