Description
Take your social media game to the next level with Social Engine – the ultimate scheduling tool for your content and photos! And it’s completely free! Unlike other tools like TweetDeck, Buffer, Falcon, and ContentCal, Social Engine has no limitations on scheduling posts. You have full control of the system once it’s installed on your WordPress, and you can even customize it to your needs with easy-to-use coding.
Currently, it supports:
- Mastodon
- LinkedIn (Pro Version)
- Pinterest (Pro Version)
Current features:
- Plan your SNS Posts with a pretty UI
- Create Post with Photos
- Automatically schedule your WP Posts
- Select images which has never been published on SNS
- Revive your old content
- Draft Support (Pro Version)
- Statistics, such views and likes (Pro Version)
- Revive Posts or Pages (Pro Version)
Consider the Pro Version for additional one-to-one support, and to help me developing it. This plugin is, as you can guess, quite a lot of work! Many companies are running expensive platforms for the same services. I think they are way too expensive and not always made, so this is my attempt to make things cheaper and better. I need you!
No third-party service 💕
Say goodbye to third-party services with Social Engine. Enjoy no limitations, no hidden costs (except for the optional Pro version), and the security of keeping your data to yourself. Plus, you can customize and automate everything to fit your specific needs. Note that you’ll need to create your own “Facebook App” (and the same goes for Twitter, Instagram, etc.) It’s easy and straightforward, and if you need any help, just check out my tutorial or ask a friend for assistance! 🤓

I don't see an option to delete my review, so I'm just going to leave a 5 star here for now. 👍

Overview:This is a really nice plugin for posting to social media. You can post manually entered text and photos (in tweets, toots, etc.), or set up the plugin to post whenever you publish a new page or blog post (a feature which I haven't really used much yet; it seems to still be a work in progress at the moment).
Pros: I love that you can schedule posts way in advance, and that you can do this from your website. I think it makes using social media to promote your website content so much easier, as often times I want to post about new blog posts, and even when I don't I may peruse my past blog posts for topics I can address on social media.
Cons:The plugin is still new, so there are a few hiccups at the moment. I ran into an issue where the plugin won't let me back out of a post when I start to schedule it and then change my mind, or want to change the date, for example. I use other plugins from this author, and I'm sure any issues like this are only temporary. So I don't think it's worth it to deduct a star because of this.
Cons that are Not MeowApp's Fault:Another issue (not MeowApp's fault in any way) is that it takes some time to set up the plugin to work with the various social media sites you want to use. The author provides documentation on this, so I suggest anyone wanting to use the plugin take a look at that while setting it up. Finally (again, not the author's fault), Twitter, because of what it's been doing lately, doesn't seem to be possible to set up for free. To fix this, I would just suggest using Twitter directly, or perhaps a free scheduling service like Buffer. Buffer is a large company that offers SaaS, so they have the money and the means to work around Twitter's tom-foolery, while MeowApps can't.
Summary:I recommend this app whole-heartedly! It's great for scheduling social media posts, and it just makes sense having this functionality inside your admin space. The paid version is so cheap ($29 a year for one website) that you might as well get that, if for no other reason than to support the developer and help him keep making this and other plugins great!

It is very easy to use, and powerful vs other saas solutions. You can publish unlimited posts in your own premises :-).

You just can't go wrong with any of their plugins, they are awesome! And they work great together! Don't miss the upcoming AI integration for the Social plugin. Jordy is an awesome developer who listens to users. I'd give 100 stars if I could. Thanks, Jordy!

it's a great idea to have your social media management directly connected to your website and in your own hands. it's simple, easy and efficient.
facebook made it a bit tricky to set it up, but the tutorial was very helpful and it was worth the few extra clicks.
the meow apps support is truly excellent (and already worth getting the pro-version #supportthesupport :))!

Hi used Buffer for years and paid a lot of money to schedule my social media posts for Facebook and Twitter. Social Engine is a great replacement. Build right into WordPress and with the complete control over the content.
Jordy Meow has always an open ear for suggestions and has implemented many of them in no time.
Thanky you!
