WordPress Now Lets You Post on All Your Social Media Platforms Directly From Your WordPress Website

Social media presence is a very integral part for any business in today’s day and age. It won’t be a stretch to claim that social media has transformed the way businesses are done. While it does not cover the entire consumer market, it is true that it covers nearly the entire of the young consumers. Young consumers are early consumers and almost all companies are now diverting their focus on how to optimize their marketing campaigns on social media.

Having said all that, it is worth noting that all the different social media platforms have distinct user bases. Depending on the user base your business wants to attract, you have to emphasize on sharing content. Despite that, you still need to have a presence across all platforms.

Social Media on WordPress

With WordPress, you can integrate all your social media accounts on one dashboard. This way you don’t have to go from one social media platform to another to post the same content or to run the same campaign. The access to different social media platforms with your WordPress website has never been easier.

There are multiple ways in which you can make the most of the strong connection of your WordPress website to that of your social media presence. Good thing is that these features are available with all the plans without any added costs. Managing and optimizing content is as important as creating the website for any WordPress website development company. Things like posting your website’s content automatically to your social media is now very convenient. What’s interesting is that doing the reverse, which is to showcase your social media content on your website, is now easy too.

Here are some interesting things you can do with your Social Media accounts right from your WordPress website

Posting Content to Social Media

For years, website owners craved for a feature that could automate the process of posting content from the website to different social media handles. With the help of the Publicize feature, you can now post any piece of content on your website and that will directly be posted on your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Tumblr. At this point, platforms like Instagram and Pinterest are not supporting auto post features.

All you have to do is to configure these accounts on your dashboard. After that, every time you publish a new piece of content, it will automatically get posted on all those platforms under your registered account. Moreover, you can pick and choose to skip one or more platforms in case you want to post something specifically on a platform or want to disengage from one platform for a while.

Your Social Media on Your Website

Another cool way to optimize content on your website is to do the reversal. Content is inseparable from social media. If you are publishing any piece of content or even if you are displaying information about your products or services, integrating your social media content on the website is very important. Social media platforms these days offer intuitive features to create some amazing and engaging content. It helps that you can showcase that content on your website too.

You can add a little preview window of your latest social media feeds from different platforms on your WordPress website. This is possible with the help of widgets or blocks. These widgets and blocks display posts from your social media accounts in real time. WordPress has great default features to integrate your content from popular social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, TikTok and many more.

Social Media Button Links

Another yet cool but not necessarily a recent feature is to display your social media logos on the content of your WordPress website. These are small icons right at the end of your published content that navigate the users directly to your social media profile. Almost all modern day themes on WordPress have this in the design. In case you are using a custom made or bootstrapped design, you can put those social media icons with the help of Social Icons Block.

Share

One of the most efficient ways of getting more traffic and engagement on your website is to let users share your content directly to their social media feeds. Sharing is a very popular concept in today’s day and age. We often come across a piece of content that we immediately want to share with our friends or family. Copying the URL is an outdated method. You can now enable your users to share your content on their social media through a few buttons.

The Social Sharing feature allows your website visitors to click on the relevant buttons and share the content to that social media platform by simply sharing credentials. This becomes even faster when your website is viewed from a mobile device like a phone or a tablet. Usually all social media apps are connected and signed in on these devices. So tapping on those buttons will automatically navigate them to their app and with a signed in account, they just have to add a caption and share it.

WordPress always stays a step ahead of the conventional innovations. These features have been here for a while. While the world is now turning an eye towards engagement and traffic, WordPress forecasted the popularity of cross platform sharing a while ago. You can do these types of social media integrations with the help of some default features and some additional extensions.

Conclusion

WordPress acknowledges the power of social media and how it single handedly influences traffic on any website. WordPress has rolled out these features to give total control and power to the users regarding their social media integration. This way you can not only post your content on your multiple social media platforms at once but also integrate content from your social media to your website. The users too are involved in the sharing space as they can directly navigate to your social media accounts from theirs with a single button and can also share the piece of content to their social media with equal ease and convenience.
