Social Auto Poster
Social Auto Poster review. It’s good, but convenience is somewhat lacking…
워드프레스를 하면서 구글 등록 및 SEO 설정 등 기본적인 블로그의 내실을 다졌다면 그 후에 가장 먼저 신경쓰셔야 할 부분은 역시 SNS 설정입니다. 우리나라에서는 SNS를 통한 블로그 홍보가 그렇게 대중적이지는 않지만 외국 블로거들에게는 그야말로 필수적입니다. 그리고 그에 맞게 이와 관련된 정말 수많은 앱들이 존재하며, 제트팩에도 이 기능은 당연히 들어있습니다.
그리고 요즘은 제가 예전에 리뷰했던 nelio content 등 역시나 다양한 플러그인들이 SNS 동시 발행 기능 뿐 아니라 일종의 SEO 플러그인들처럼 글의 일종의 점수를 체크해주는 등 각자 나름대로의 방법으로 차별화를 꾀하는 편입니다. 그리고 지금 리뷰할 이 플러그인은 많은 플러그인들이 올라와 있는 codecanyon에서 예전에는 SNS 동시 발행 부분에서 가장 유명한 플러그인이어서 구매를 했었었습니다. 다만 지금은 더 인기가 많은 친구가 있긴 합니다만… 나름대로 여러 플러그인을 전전하다가 지금은 이 친구를 다시 사용해보려 하는 중입니다. Social Auto Poster입니다.

The design is a bit rough… Even considering it’s for WordPress plugin…
These Social Media simultaneous auto publishing plugins typically have fairly standard features. No matter how they differentiate it, ultimately, what matters most is whether it properly goes up on Social Media. I remember that in the past, there weren’t many websites to post like this, but as competition emerged on the same site, updates were made hastily. Now, you can simultaneously post on various platforms such as Reddit, LinkedIn, Medium, Pinterest, and WordPress.com. I’m also currently translating my blog posts into English, and if posting them on the mentioned sites helps, I’m trying to make them all go up simultaneously.
On the other hand, I’m not quite fond of the interface. While it’s common for WordPress plugins to have rather rugged interfaces, there are still plenty of friends out there who design them to be pretty, user-friendly, and so on. Especially on CodeCanyon, plugins are primarily purchased by non-developers. As a result, there are many cases where efforts are made to create visually appealing plugin interfaces. However, despite that, the interface of Social Auto Poster is a bit disappointing. It doesn’t affect usability, but still, it’s worth mentioning…
The most significant downside of Social Auto Poster is that the setup process is cumbersome.
As mentioned earlier, regardless of any WordPress plugin, especially those coming from CodeCanyon where non-expert users often purchase, if they are difficult to use, frankly, it’s challenging for them to gain popularity. Ideally, it would be best if settings could be done with just one click, but if that’s not possible, making it intuitive with minimal setup would be the next best thing, so it can run smoothly on its own. However, this tool has a very cumbersome setup process when using the plugin for the first time. For example, with Nelio Content or Jetpack, it’s convenient because you just log in and grant permission for data usage from Twitter, and you’re good to go. On the other hand, with this one, you have to go through a somewhat cumbersome process of obtaining APIs and such.
From reviews and feedback, it seems that most people manage to set it up well and use it effectively. I manage to use it after some hassle with the setup, but it’s quite cumbersome. If there were clear benefits or advantages to setting it up this way, I would be willing to tolerate it. However, as previously mentioned, it’s unclear if there are any advantages in this regard, and the developers don’t provide such information. I just think I paid a lot of money for it, so I should set it up and use it…
Social Auto Poster offers excellent value for money. However, the stability was not good initially but has since improved.
However, it seems to be a common issue shared among plugins in this field.
However, Social Auto Poster clearly offers good value for money. Because it includes features that other plugins would typically reserve for their premium versions. Specifically, other plugins typically charge for features that allow reposting previously shared posts on Social Medias, but this one includes such features with a single purchase.
However, I’m not sure about its stability. I have been using this plugin to some extent, but to be honest, with this one, Nelio Content, and even Jetpack, I’ve encountered situations where posts don’t get uploaded properly. Explaining this part verbally is a bit difficult for me, so I’ve attached screenshots below. In short, there are instances where errors occur when posts are supposed to go up on Twitter in the card format that I intended. The issue I’m experiencing, including with the plugin I’m currently reviewing, is something that all other plugins have also faced, and each time, I’ve ended up leaving and searching for a different plugin. At this point, it makes me suspect whether there’s an issue on X’s side. Using this friend again now, the posts are indeed going up properly once more. How long will it last this time? I hope I can finally settle down now…
I mentioned the issue of stability earlier, but in the end, after trying out other tools, I’m back to using it again. After using Jetpack for a long time, I also returned to it because the value for money with Jetpack wasn’t as good as before. From what I see now, it seems that Jetpack doesn’t support automatic posting to X. If X sharing isn’t supported, the need for this feature would significantly decrease. I wonder what will happen? Haha… Well, anyway, I’ve switched and have been using it quite well. So far, I haven’t encountered any issues. That’s a relief…
If used properly, it’s a decent plugin.
I came back after using similar alternative tools.
People who are familiar with it may know, but in Korea, there’s a fairly set group of people who use X, so it seems there’s almost no traffic from X to my blog. There are still some people who occasionally leave likes, which is somewhat reassuring. Before that, in Korea, the influx through Social Media itself wasn’t that significant… I used to think about posting on other media platforms that were popular here before, but now it seems like there’s no benefit at all… I also made sure to post on my Facebook page, but this aspect seems a bit challenging to utilize in Korea…
I’m currently exploring ways to translate my WordPress blog to find opportunities globally, but when the time comes, it’s all about finding and searching for plugins because of social media… I hope it bears fruit. I don’t have much income yet, but…
