SchedulePress gives you the opportunity to automatically share scheduled WordPress posts on your Facebook page and group. By connecting Facebook with SchedulePress, your posts will automatically be shared on your Facebook account at the scheduled time. Besides, with its ‘Instant Share’ flexibility, you can share your post anytime you want on Facebook as well.

Moreover, you can now simultaneously share your posts on multiple Facebook accounts by using SchedulePress Pro as well. This feature would come in very handy if you want to grow your social media presence and give your brand some much-needed exposure. Follow the guidelines below to share scheduled posts of WordPress on your Facebook profile:

Step 1: Connect Facebook with SchedulePress #

Before you begin, make sure that you have already created a Facebook Page on your Account. Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to ‘wp-admin’ → ‘SchedulePress’ → ‘Settings.’ Then, simply open up the ‘Social Profile’ tab and switch to the ‘Facebook’ option. Make sure that the ‘Facebook’ option is enabled.

After hitting the ‘Add New Profile’ button, it will ask you to add your Facebook ‘App ID’ and ‘App Secret’ on the popup window.  If you already have a Facebook developer account, you just have to copy and paste it in this required place. Unless you have to first create your app by following the process below.

Step 2: Use Your Own Facebook App #

To use this method, you need to make sure that you have created your own App. If you don’t have it, you can simply get started by logging into your Facebook Developer Account.

Create an App #

From the top menu, you will find ‘My Apps’, click on it & head over to the ‘Create App’ option from the right corner. Now, hit the option.

Here, you need to configure app details, such as App name and App contact email. Once done, hit the ‘Next’ button.

Now, you need to select the use cases of your app. You can filter and choose one from the list of use cases. Here, we have chosen ‘Other’ available under All options.

On the next page, select an app type (Business) and confirm the app details. Once done, hit the ‘Create App’ button to create your app.

You will then be redirected to the App Dashboard. This would look something like this:

Set up Facebook Login for Business #

From the dashboard, click on ‘Set up’ under ‘Facebook Login for Business’ & you’ll be redirected to the page below.

Insert Valid OAuth Redirect URIs #

Afterward, you have to go to the Facebook Login ‘Settings’ option to add the ‘Valid OAuth Redirect URIs’. You will get it from the ‘Redirect URI’ section that was in the ‘Add New Profile’ window of  SchedulePress.

Next, you need to navigate to Tools → Graph API Explorer to set the ‘Permission and Features’ option.

Search the features below & click on the App Review Request to complete the integration process.

Generate Access Token #

After you have done so, click on the ‘Generate Access Key’ button to retrieve your Access token. You will be asked to continue as a user. Allow permissions to the page you have created. Afterward, go ahead and allow the permissions for the App you have created and hit the ‘Save’ button.

Retrieve Facebook API Keys #

You will find the App ID & App Secret Keys from your Dashboard → App Settings → Basic. Simply copy the App ID & App Secret Key from here. Make sure to add a site URL in the ‘App Domains’ field and then click on the ‘Save Changes’ button.

Make sure you paste your retrieved ID and secret keys in the right places like this.

Step 3: Connect Your Facebook Page with SchedulePress #

Afterward, SchedulePress will be successfully connected to your Facebook page. By simply following the previous steps, you can add a new profile and connect multiple Facebook pages with SchedulePress as well.

Step 4: Schedule Blog Post & Automatically Share It on Facebook #

If you schedule your WordPress post, it will automatically be shared on your Facebook account. Besides, if you want, you can even instantly share your live post on Facebook as well. To do that, go to your post and navigate to ‘Social Share Settings’ and choose the ‘Facebook’ social share platform either from the default templates or the custom templates. Simply hit the ‘Share Now’ button, and your post will instantly be shared on your Facebook page or group. If you want, you can even upload a custom ‘Social Share Banner’ for your Facebook post as well.
