WP Auto Post Settings

Share posts automatically: You cannot enable this option until you select your accounts from the left-side bar. When this option is enabled, any time you publish a new post in WordPress, the plugin will automatically share it on all your selected social accounts.

Share posts type: Here, you need to select the type of post you want to share. It automatically shares specific post types, like blogs or products, to your social accounts when they’re published. For WooCommerce products, you can select “Product.” You can use custom post types as well. In the free version of Bit Social, you can only select “POSTS” as the share post type. To share other types of posts, you’ll need to upgrade to the pro version of Bit Social.

Share post delay: You can control when your WordPress posts are automatically shared. You can either post right away or set a delay time. If you choose the delay option, your posts will be shared to your social platforms after the specified time.

Keep the shared post log: When this option is enabled, all your shared posts will be recorded in the log section, where you can review them. If you prefer not to keep these logs, you can disable the option. However, disabling it will prevent you from viewing insights and may lead to duplicate posts when using the scheduling module. You cannot enable this option until you select your accounts from the left-side bar.

Post templates: Post templates help you create social media posts automatically by arranging variables like title, excerpt, and content in a specific order. Follow this guidance to learn more about post templates.
