How To Auto-Publish And Schedule WordPress Posts To Twitter

Option 1: Using the FS Poster Standard App to add your account;

Option 2: Create your personal App and add your accounts using the personal App;

Option 3: Use the Cookie method to add your account to the plugin (Risky).

1. Adding An Account To The Plugin using the Standard App

You can add your account to the plugin using the FS Poster - Standard App. This method is the simplest method that you only need three clicks to add an account; no other action is required.

1. Go to FS Poster > Accounts > Twitter menu;

2. Click the ADD AN ACCOUNT button;

3. Click the GET ACCESS button, and authorize your Twitter account. It will use the Standard App by default and that App is hidden. You do not need to check the “Use a custom App”, if you do not have one;

4. Activate communities.

Because Twitter supports only 280 characters, sharing posts on Twitter works under certain conditions:

If the shared post contains some text and an image or a video, the first 280 characters are shared with the image or video.

If the post contains some text and a link, the exceeded text is cut from the text, but the entire link is shared.

If the link length is 280+, the link is deleted from the post, and only the text is shared.

You can set the plugin to share your post as a link card view or upload your images. If your images are not visible on the link card view, you can debug your website on the Twitter developer page to see the reason.

3. Use the Cookie method to add your account to the plugin.

The cookie method is private and works 70% of the time. If you use this method, especially if you spam, Twitter might suspend your account. Some advice below will make your account less likely to be blocked:

  • Don't use newly created Twitter accounts. Twitter will probably block these users to prevent spammers and bots;
  • Confirm your account via phone number;
  • Don't use URL shortener services;
  • Use a private proxy for your country;
  • Don't spam.

Follow the steps to add an account using the cookie method:

1. Go to FS Poster > Accounts > Twitter menu;

2. Click the ADD AN ACCOUNT button;

3. Select the Cookie method;

4. Open the Incognito tab on a browser (Chrome is recommended, and you can open the Incognito tab on Chrome by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N keys);

5. Log in to your Twitter account;

6. Press the F12 key on your keyboard and click the Application tab within the opened window;

7. Click the Cookies on the left menu;

8. Copy the auth_token cookie value and close the incognito tab without logging out from your account. As a result, the session will not expire. That session will remain until you change your account password;
