20221021-1524. I do NOT know what happened but this is what I discovered on my self-hosted site.
irst, I was on the wp-admin/edit.php page when I saw a notification on the top reading as:
Jetpack Write once, post everywhere. Add Jetpack social.
So I clicked the Add Jetpack social button and arrived at the wp-admin/admin.php page when I saw the following page:
Jetpack Social
Promote your content on social media by automatically publishing when you publish on your site.
- Post to social networks
- Schedule publishing
- Supports the major social networks
Add Jetpack Social
So I clicked the Add Jetpack Social button again and arrived at the another wp-admin/admin.php page when I saw the following page:
Sharing
Jetpack Social connections
Allows you to automatically share your newest content on social media sites, including Facebook and Twitter.
Learn more(opens in a new tab
Privacy information(opens in a new tab)
Connect your website to the social media networks you use and share your content across all your social accounts with a single click. When you publish a post, it will appear on all connected accounts.
Automatically share your posts to social networks
Connect your social media account
So I clicked the “Connect your social media account” link and Jetpack-dot-com redirected me to the login page.
(Mysteriously, I had logged into TWO WordPress.com account at the same time because the redirected link kept bringing up the incorrect login account! Since I’m slow, I had to think slowly and arrived to the conclusion that I had to log outta the incorrect link. So I clicked through the links again and arrived at the correct WordPress.com account.)
I think saw the following page:
Marketing and Integrations
Connect your site to social networks and other services. Learn more
Share posts with Jetpack Social [View article: https///wordpress.com/support/post-automatically-to-social-media/]
I can choose from four social media accounts:
- Facebook – Share posts to your Facebook page.
- Twitter – Sharing posts to your Twitter feed.
- LinkedIn – Share posts to your connections.
- Tumblr – Share posts to your Tumblr blog.
I can manage connections too:
- Google Photos – Access photos stored in your Google Photos libray
- Mailchimp – Allo users to sign up to your Mailchimp mailing list.
- Instagram – Connect to use the Instagram widget.
You can tell if the connection is successful via an email notification, a banner notification or the Connect button say Disconnect and changed colors to red.
So here goes! I hope this post is shared on my social media account(s).
That’s all. FlynnsPaws.
Hello Flynn, nice, and good luck!
