Bulk scheduling and CSV import for social media posts

Scheduling posts one by one is fine for a single announcement. For a product launch, a content calendar or a backlog of blog posts, you need to plan many at once.

FS Poster gives you two ways to do it: a bulk action for posts that already exist in WordPress, and a CSV import for posts you plan in a spreadsheet.

Bulk schedule WordPress posts

Go to Posts, or Products, Media or any other post type, tick the posts, choose FS Poster in the Bulk actions menu and click Apply. A planner opens with those posts selected, so you can share them to your channels at an interval or on set days.

Import posts from a CSV file

Plan your posts in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers, one post per row, and import the file from Calendar > Import CSV. Up to 100 posts go in at once.

• send_at: the date and time, in your site's time zone
• channels: the IDs of your channels, listed in the import window with a copy button
• content, title, link and first_comment
• media: images or a video from your media library, by ID

Before anything is created, FS Poster checks every row and shows a preview. A date in the past, an unknown channel, a missing image or a broken link is flagged, and only the rows you tick are imported. A sample file with your own channel IDs is one click away.

Good to know

• Each row becomes a normal post in the calendar, so you can edit, reschedule or delete it later.
• If Content Approval is on, imported posts go to review like any other post.
• CSV files from Excel work as they are: comma, semicolon or tab separated, in UTF-8 or Excel's own encoding.
• TikTok asks for a privacy choice on each post, so TikTok posts are scheduled from the composer instead.
