WordPress

Your blog is still the home base your social posts point back to. Sosial connects to a WordPress site over its REST API and publishes scheduled posts with their title, body and featured image, so the article ships when you planned it.

#Connect WordPress

WordPress has no central login: each site creates its own application password (WordPress 5.6 or later).

1. In WordPress, open Users → Profile → Application Passwords and create one.
2. In Sosial, open Channels → WordPress.
3. Enter your site URL, your WordPress username and the application password.
4. Select Connect.

#Limits

The composer checks these as you type, so a post that's too long for WordPress is flagged before it's scheduled.

#What works on WordPress

• Long-form articles
• SEO-driven content
• Scheduled publishing without logging in

#Tips

#Set a featured image every time

It becomes the thumbnail on the blog and the preview card when the post is shared.

#Write the excerpt yourself

A hand-written excerpt controls how the post reads in search results and social previews.

#Cross-post the summary, not the article

Send a short teaser to social channels and link back, rather than pasting the whole piece.

#Avoid

• Revoking the application password so the connection silently fails.
• Publishing without a featured image and getting a blank preview card.
• Using a draft that is still half-written as a scheduled post.
