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:

Instagram
Facebook
Twitter
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! 🤓

Extensibility

We provide actions, filters and an API so that you can extend the plugin the way you like. Please let us know what you would like to do, and we’ll give you everything you need. Please check the section about extensibility in the documentation.

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!

I've been using this plugin for a month or so now, and it works perfectly, makes it nice and easy to schedule tweets, Facebook posts, etc... Really great, and is a hell of a deal compared to something like Hootsuite or Buffer. Thanks so much for this plugin, Jordy, you've made life much easier for me!

The Social Engine WordPress plugin is an exceptional tool. The user interface is intuitive and straightforward, making it simple to configure. One of the standout features of the Social Engine plugin is its integration with popular social media platforms. Another great aspect of the Social Engine plugin is its seamless integration with your existing WordPress site. Overall, the Social Engine WordPress plugin is a fantastic tool for any website. The plugin's ease of use, range of features, and seamless integration make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced WordPress users. I highly recommend this plugin to anyone.

I had a blast playing with AI Engine today, and then I stumbled upon Social Engine, created by the same guy ! I am really impressed! I've been using another system to automate my social media posts, but I think I might just switch to this one. I did some tests with Twitter and it works like a charm! I just wanted to say a big thank you for creating such a great tool, it's got me super hyped!

I purchased this plug 7th of Jan. Made concerted effort to get it working and failed so requested Support. I have complied with all support requirements and not had any help towards a repair still to this day of 23rd Jan. Incidentally, I have purchased MeowApps entire catalog of paid plugins. January 7, 2023 $39.00 January 7, 2023 $149.00 April 6, 2020 $24.00 April 5, 2020 $24.00 April 5, 2020 $24.00 Total: $260 USD Which is $402 NZD. Significant amount of money I tried my best to get the "revive" function to work. Revive function takes an existing post/s and ques it for delivery. The plugin will remain trying to que any post and will never succeed. I am certain this can be solvedSince this a core purpose of this plugin, I expect to have some attention on it especially after sending all server logs, a login with the requested method from MeowApps, screenshots of the Revive function showing fail in the browser console, and very importantly, being a paying customerNote: I even offered to pay extra for help after not getting any. Zero reply to that, tumble weeds

Great tool that really simplifies the workflow between the homepage and social media. Finally, you no longer have to set everything manually, but can use all important media directly and easily from one tool. Once you've sat down, you can plan everything for the next few days or weeks and the tool takes care of the implementation. No more duplicate images as the tool hides used images. 5 stars for the tool and the support
