Bufferomatic - Auto Post To Buffer — is a powerful WordPress plugin that acts as a bridge between your website and your Buffer account. It automatically shares your new and updated posts to your configured Buffer profiles, including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Pinterest. This tool is designed to streamline your social media marketing efforts, ensuring your content reaches your audience consistently without requiring you to manually log in and share every single post.
With its flexible and user-friendly interface, you can define how and when your posts are shared. Customize post templates for each social network, use dynamic shortcodes to pull in post titles, excerpts, or featured images, and let the plugin work in the background. Whether you're a blogger, a marketer, or a business owner, Bufferomatic helps you maintain an active and engaging social media presence, driving more traffic back to your WordPress site with minimal effort.
Why This Is Important
Are you tired of spending hours each week manually sharing your blog posts on social media? You're not alone. The average marketer spends nearly 2 hours per day on social media management. That's 10 hours a week that could be spent creating content, engaging with your audience, or growing your business.
Inconsistent posting is another major challenge. Studies show that brands that post consistently can see up to 30% more engagement. When you get busy, social media is often the first thing to be neglected, leading to a drop in traffic and visibility. Bufferomatic solves these problems by putting your social media strategy on autopilot. It ensures every new post gets the promotion it deserves, precisely when you schedule it, driving consistent traffic and engagement without the daily time commitment.

FAQ
What social media platforms can I post to with Bufferomatic?
Bufferomatic integrates with Buffer, which supports a wide range of social networks. You can auto-post to any platform connected to your Buffer account, including Facebook (Pages and Groups), Twitter, Instagram (Business Profiles), LinkedIn (Profiles and Pages), and Pinterest. The plugin simply sends your content to your Buffer queue, and Buffer handles the rest.
Can I customize the message for each social network?
Yes, absolutely. This is one of the core features of Bufferomatic. Within the plugin's settings, you can create unique default message templates for each social media profile you have connected in Buffer. This allows you to tailor your message, hashtags, and mentions specifically for the audience and format of each platform.
Does this plugin work with custom post types and WooCommerce products?
Yes, Bufferomatic is designed to be flexible. In the settings, you can enable auto-posting for standard Posts and Pages, as well as any custom post types registered on your site, including WooCommerce Products. This makes it easy to automatically announce new products on your social media channels as soon as they are published.
What happens if I update an old post? Will it be re-posted?
By default, the plugin is configured to only post new content upon its first publication. However, it includes an option in the WordPress editor to manually re-share any post (new or old) to your Buffer queue at any time. This gives you full control over promoting both new and updated content without creating unwanted duplicates.
