FAQ
How do I connect my website with my social profiles?
Each platform requires a developer app. The plugin guides you through setup with step-by-step instructions and handles all connections directly in your WordPress admin.
You can find more in-depth documentation here.
How quickly should new posts appear on my social profiles?
- Internal Feed: Posts are sent approximately 1 minute after publishing.
- External Feed: The default is every 10 minutes, but can be adjusted.
Why is auto-posting not working?
If you’ve followed the instructions, created the app, connected your website, and it’s still not working, start by checking the logs, then email me if you need help.
Can I style the share buttons?
To override the default styles, target .simpleshare and .ssbtn in your theme or custom CSS. Platform color classes: .ssbtn.facebook, .ssbtn.x, .ssbtn.linkedin, .ssbtn.reddit, .ssbtn.email, .ssbtn.copy, .ssbtn.print.
