FAQ

How do I connect to social networks?

From your site’s WP Admin:

  1. Navigate to Jetpack → Social.
  2. Click on the Manage Connections button.
  3. Click Connect next to the social network you want to connect to.
  4. Log in to that social network site and authorize the connection.

You can connect to any of the following networks:

  • Facebook Pages
  • Twitter
  • Tumblr
  • LinkedIn

After you add a new connection, you have the option to make the connection ‘global’, meaning it can also be used by any other user on your site who has the ability to publish posts.

To make the connection available to all users, check the box labeled “Connection available to all administrators, editors, and authors”.

To which social media platforms can I post using Jetpack Social?

You can post to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Linkedin. We are working hard to increase our social share integrations.

How do I share a post on social media using Jetpack Social?

To configure the Publicize options when writing a new post, click the green Jetpack icon at top right of the edit sidebar.

You’ll then see the Publicize options under the Share this post section, where you can toggle social media connections, connect new services, and write a custom message to be used when your post is shared.

How do I add a custom excerpt to my social posts?

The easiest way is to use the Custom Message option in the publishing options box prior to publishing your post.

Even for casual users, the 30 shares per month limit is pretty stiff. If you post a twitter thread there go 5 or 6 of your 30 monthly shares. If you share to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr you lose 3. This is just ridiculous. And now they charge 10 dollars a month for something that doesn't need changes or anything but minor tweaks. Stay away from this plugin. There are at least two free plugins that do the same job.

Greedy plugin now wants money for nothing. Smells like Bill Gates and his Microsoft model. Will install WP to Twitter plugin. I already pay for Jetpack vaultpress and now they want more money.

It used to be free but now they're charging $120 annually for this, with only 30 free shares monthly. Not worth it. There are plenty of other free options that does the same job. Uninstalling this.

It is so simple to create a "share" plugin, yet you people ask so much money for this even though you already make a fortune. I find it really bad that you ask this much for a simple social plugin. Ask 25 and you still make a killing.

It always worked fine. Now it doesn't unless I pay them. Yet all it does is make a single function call. We urgently need an alternative to Wordpress.
