WordPress publishing for LinkedIn
Devenia Autoposter for LinkedIn sends qualifying WordPress posts to the LinkedIn audience you choose
Keep the post in its WordPress source while the selected LinkedIn audience receives prepared commentary and a deliberately chosen visual.
Choose where the post should appear
Connect the LinkedIn destination before publishing
After activation, open Settings > Autoposter for LinkedIn. Connect your LinkedIn account and choose where new posts should appear.
Create the app and connection
Create your LinkedIn Developer App and add the redirect address shown in the plugin settings. Enter the app details there, then select Connect to LinkedIn.
Select the publishing scope
Choose your personal profile, a company page, or both. Check the selected profile and company page before enabling automatic sharing.
Check target readiness
Check that the connection can publish to each selected destination. Company-page publishing needs the appropriate LinkedIn access; connecting a personal profile alone does not establish that access.
What happens at first publish
What happens when you publish
Sharing starts when you first publish an eligible post. Editing an existing published post does not send it again.
One qualifying first publish
When an enabled public post type changes to published for the first time, the plugin queues one LinkedIn share. Updates, disabled posts, and already shared posts are skipped.
Wait for the queued share
WordPress handles the share in the background. A queued status means the job is waiting; it does not confirm that the LinkedIn post exists yet.
Check before sharing again
Temporary delivery failures can trigger another attempt. Check the saved outcome before trying to share the same article yourself.
Confirm the LinkedIn post
LinkedIn receives the prepared text and image for the destinations you selected. Open the resulting LinkedIn post to check the published result.
Choose the visual that travels
Choose the image for your LinkedIn post
The plugin checks images in this order. Set a featured image when one specific visual must accompany the article.
Featured image first
Use the post’s featured image when one is attached.
Then the first content image
If no featured image is available, use the first image in the article content.
Advance through the gallery
If both are empty, use the next configured gallery image. The gallery advances one position per post and wraps at the end.
Use the final fallbacks
If the gallery has nothing to supply, check the configured fallback and then the site logo.
Shape the outgoing commentary
Choose which post details LinkedIn receives
Use the template to select the title, excerpt, and author details. Write an excerpt that makes sense on its own to someone who has not read the article.
Post title
Use a headline that names the article’s subject or concrete benefit.
Excerpt
Explain the useful finding or main point. For example: “Three checks to make before replacing a product photograph.”
Author name
Include the author’s name when the credit helps readers understand whose advice they are reading.
Source content limit
Keep the message concise and check the final text. Long source content is shortened before the title and template are applied.
Read the saved state
Check delivery without changing it
An administrator can inspect the saved sharing status. With the optional AI connection, these checks report the result without sending another post.
Overall site status
Check the connection and selected destinations when several posts are not reaching LinkedIn.
Status for one WordPress post
Inspect the saved status for that article to distinguish queued, retrying, failed, and completed work.
