Latest News: I updated the tutorial.

Unfortunately Twitterfeed is no longer available as of October 31, 2016. In their site they recommend Dlvr.it. This is a great service. I decided to read more about divr.it and other services. After reading some forums and testing a few social services, I decided to go with Zapier.

There are many online social services available today. You need to spend some time testing them out and reading forums to learn more about others users experiences. Not all social services will work for you. Just keep testing them until you find the one that best suits your needs.

I decided to try out Zapier and so far this social service works well for me. I set up a free account because it allows me to test it further. Zapier also have premium services for those who require more options.

In this tutorial I will be sending a new WordPress post to a Facebook page.

What You Need:

A Facebook account.
A Zapier account.

Publish WordPress Posts To Facebook

Step 1 ) The following image allows you to create Zaps. This allows you to choose from one App to another App. Because this is a free account, only a zap between two apps is permitted. If you have a premium account you can create multiple zaps for example app1 to app2 to app3 etc.

Click on Make A Zap! button and choose your app. For this tutorial you will select a Facebook app.
